I finally finished Neal Stephenson's baroque trilogy. 2,700 pages long! It was up there with his other books and I certainly learned more about that time period than I did in ap history. When I finished the series I was weirdly sad. You live with the characters for several decades of their lives and almost want to know more about what happens to them. The ending was also really satisfying which, with Stephenson, you can't always take for granted. So, 6/10 for the first book, a solid 9/10 for the second and third. And a 16/f for Rudy.
Ryan: holy shit. Entertaining and horrifying. That's what The Action Team is about!
