I loved this book, especially the Neo-Victorian culture. I did feel that some parts lagged and I did flick forward a bit midway. Neal Stephenson is one of my favourite authors, and I do give him credit for each of his books being based on a completely different paradigm.
Beautifully written but not quite on the same level as Snow Crash or Anathem for instance.

;) Andrea, I know how that goes. To rest your mind at ease, just in case, I will not hold it against you. I still have Perdido Street Station to reread and Legion and The Shadow of the Wind and Mortality and The Satanic Verses and... but I'll get to it.
