A great read.

Geeky and exiting. Futurism, very near. Entertaining thriller of the light kind.

One of my favorite books.

Good all around, novel where you can also learn about cryptography, computer science, and philosophy. Might take a while to pick up but well worth it.

Favorite Book of all time, except for maybe LOTR

Fascinating if you want to learn more about cryptography and code-breaking. Not so much if you want an actual story....

Good all around, with the bonus of some of the funniest lines I've read in a long time.

Daunting when you first sit down to the 800 and something pages, but this book is legendary.

Engrossing story.
Cons: About as substantive as cotton candy.
