So far a fantastic read.

Funny, insightful, self-righteous defense of free speech.

Compared to Western science fiction, Liu makes you think differently, considering everyday issues in a different vocabulary. Loving the concepts and the roles that the new (and old) characters play. So far, it's a compelling read.

So far, a creative and well-written novel that captures a sense of Nixon's insecurity and resentment towards his peers, while adding a dash of the supernatural.

Continuing to power through this tedious narrative with flashes of brilliance that keep me from setting it aside.

My favorite novel I've read so far this year. Superb writing and character development. I feel like it's building up to a huge finish.

Superbly written with the best character development I've read in a recent sci-fi novel; so far, it's the antithesis of the info-dump narrative.

Reached a point in the story where it's very hard to put the novel down. I've finally forced myself to stop as I have work to do.

At times tedious, but nevertheless compelling, enjoying Stephenson's latest, so far. Hopefully it will remain strong, unlike Reamde...
