The read-up on the inside cover intrigued me. And, with a title that just feels wrong every time you try to say it with assurity, I felt compelled to see if I could read it through. Well, the first few chapters were sort of interesting, but you expect an author to at least give some hints about strangely named items or places. It's fun to figure these things out but usually you need some type of reference to do so. Without those I found I spent too much time trying to figure out what was what instead of actually reading. In 2 weeks I only read 3 chapters, so back to the library it went. Try it, bu after reading other reviews on Goodreads, I've discovered that most of Mr. Stephenson's books are for a very small audience. Kudos to him for finding an audience that enjoys his books. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
