Unabridged Audiobook
REAMDE is the type of book you regret finishing because you miss your new friends. I especially wanted to write a short review to let people know that you do not have to be a computer expert to enjoy this book. You do not have to be an expert at gaming either. These are an element of the book but the main interest is the story and the characters.
What an amazing story teller. I was drawn along this journey as it crossed the globe in the real and virtual world. Well written very well read. 5 stars all around...
I recently found a friend who hasn’t read Neal Stephenson. He asked me to describe his books. I used words like Journey, Swashbuckling, Hilarious, etc. And certainly Reamde was everything I expected. So good. I only wish it was longer. The narrator NAILED the characters perfectly. He’s amazing
It's a very interesting book and I enjoyed it especially since it was 38 hours long. I was able to listen to it the entire month and it was worth it.
I enjoyed the book. Techno stuff about games was interesting. I thought assassin creed was hard sure glad didn’t get into the war online games too tough for me.
An excellent story, as one would expect from Stephenson, but at 38+ hours listening time, quite a challenge to keep following all the threads when you have to listen to the narrative in chunks of time spanning a couple of hours at most. Although I have never played a computer game in my life, let alone the online versions popular today, it was not that difficult to follow the theme and references.
Story lines within story lines. Kept a very long book very engaging. Suspense, action and imaginative
this is Neal Stephenson's weakest work, but it is still a Neal Stephenson book and is pretty good
Although the plot was cumbersome at times, a thoroughly enjoyable novel
