Cryptonomicon

Wrote a review for

I stopped at about 3 hours. That SHOULD be long enough to get a sense of where a book is going and if it draws you in and yet the author was still describing his main characters [in 3 different storylines no less].

Also the author would tangent now and again to topics that had no relevance, in my opinion, to moving a storyline forward.

Just too verbose of an author for my taste.

So happy to be enjoying the banter of Vann and Shane again as well as a complex, technical mystery.

How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures

Wrote a review for

Sorry author! I scanned the title and didn't catch that the word 'life' intended a memoir aspect. I was looking more for a biography of the sea creatures.

However, what I did read was a lovely merging of biography of the sea creatures and your memoir, like watching kelp forests swaying back-n-forth.

Say it with me 'feral goldfish'.
