Description: "Stephenson''s REAMDE: perfectly executed, mammoth, ambitious technothriller...a triumph, all 980 pages of it." -- Cory Doctorow, boingboing.com "Noir futurist Stephenson returns to cyberia with this fast-moving though sprawling techno-thriller...Who''ll prevail? We don''t know till the very end, thanks to Stephenson''s knife-sharp skills as a storyteller. An intriguing yarn--most geeky, and full of statisfying mayhem." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on REAMDE "Stephenson...delivers a sprawling thriller that shows him in complete control of his story." -- Publishers Weekly on REAMDE "In less masterful hands, this pile-up of implausible coincidences, madcap romance, technological mayhem and nail-biting suspense might have been a train wreck, but Stephenson pulls it off. REAMDE has one of the most satisfyingly over-the-top endings of anything I''ve read in years. " -- Washington Post Book World "Nobody else writes like Stephenson" -- Press Association (England) on REAMDE "Neal Stephenson has guts, a killer story, and--for the first time since Cryptonomicon --a thriller I can thoroughly recommend to any reader....With REAMDE we have a very smart page-turner--a global chess game expertly played." -- Mental_Floss on REAMDE "REAMDE is...one big, carefully choreographed, jet-set square-dance of mayhem." -- Bloomberg News "Sometimes when you''re reading Neal Stephenson, he doesn''t just seem like one of the best novelists writing in English right now; he seems like the only one." -- Lev Grossman, Time magazine "There''s an intellectual pill buried deep in Mr. Stephenson''s narrative candy, one powerful enough that he deserves to be classified as a major national and international resource." -- Wall Street Journal on REAMDE "[Stephenson] makes reading so much fun it feels like a deadly sin." -- International Herald Tribune on REAMDE " Reamde is an entertainment, an enormous, giddily complex one. There''s no telling what Stephenson might be planning for his next novel, but now''s the time to dive into a first-rate intellectual thriller without fear of being overwhelmed by its virtuosity." -- San Francisco Chronicle on REAMDE "Expertly crafted and often gorgeously written." -- Boston Globe on REAMDE "Even at a thousand pages, Reamde is sprightly enough to jump between 9 or 10 plot threads without getting tangled up in itself....[A]n addicitve reading experience. You don''t so much read the book as tear whole hundred-page chunk out of it with your eyes." -- Stranger magazine on REAMDE "It''s hard to sum up a 1,000 page tome in a short review, so if you don''t feel like reading this rather long one, I''ll boil it down to three words: I loved it." -- Tor.com on REAMDE "After a decade of novels set in 18th century Europe and in alternate universes, Neal Stephenson triumphantly returns as a bestselling author to contemporary America." -- www.fantasyliterature.com "Stephenson, best-known for his genre-hopping novels, tackles tech-terrorism in Reamde." -- OakPark.Patch.com "A story that, despite its gargantuan heft, speeds along like a bullet train....The depth of the story, the attention to detail, the interlocking narratives and fine characterizations mark REAMDE as an immersive literary experience." -- Pittsburgh Tribune on REAMDE "REAMDE combines meticulous observation of the stranger socioeconomic effects wrought by technology with rousing fusillades of adventure." -- The Guardian on REAMDE "Stephenson somehow makes his crazy setup entirely plausible and tons of fun." -- Knoxville News-Sentinel on REAMDE "[REAMDE] is, without a doubt, one of the smartest, fastest-moving, and most consistently enjoyable novels of the year, a book with the rare distinction of being one this reviewer wishes he had written." -- Irish Examiner on REAMDE "[A] rip-roaring race through computer hacking and guns, China and North America, virtual reality and terrorism. " -- Sunday Times (London) on REAMDE
