Quicksilver

Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1)
by Neal Stephenson
Just finished reading Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1) by Neal Stephenson. It was a good read but it got a little slow at points. I am guessing that this book was a little slower because it had to set up the characters that are going to be relevant in the next two books. If you read an enjoyed Cryptonomicon you should find the book enjoyable. Just keep in mind there isn’t any of the computer techiness in this book, since it takes place during the 1600’s and 1700’s.
