Yup, it’s good. Not the best of the series, but a good, quick read.

Sure watching the movie will kill this one for me. Great YA book.
A story about "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography" — 5 years ago
Made fast work of this one. Interesting to see how much Neal Stephenson knows about this stuff. Puts a lot of Cryptonomicon into context.

Good stuff, although I would have enjoyed more insights into the research of individual entries.
A story about "Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal" — 5 years ago
Kind of know what I was getting with this one, but always like to have my mentalities backed up with some research. A fairly quick read.

Good stuff. It’s no Jitterbug Perfume, but what else could be?
A story about "Under the Tuscan Sun" — 5 years ago
I liked this well enough, although it took me longer to plow through than expected.
