The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.

4 stars compared to other Neal Stephenson (otherwise I look back and I think everything is 5 stars...) but could easily be 5 for the sheer readbility. Nicole Garland has managed to tone down the volume of “nerd dump” on the page which makes DODO an ideal starter for Stephenson. The plot develops quickly, unlike some of his other novels, and is a good mixture of inventiveness in a quite crowded field of time travel (i just finished Jodi Taylor) but blends well witches, time travel and secret governmental organizations...
