I really liked this book, I felt like every chance I got I was turning to my husband and saying, "Whoa, did you know that...." It was a pretty good concise history of a lot of stuff that I didn't know. However, I do have some complaints: - It could have used some diagrams. Lots and lots of diagrams. I was having a hard time visualizing a lot of the things he was talking about. - If memory serves, the chapters were sort of in a strange order. - The final chapter was weirdly abrupt and I thought wasn't a fitting end to such a grandiose idea of a book. - He was a little too bogged down in shocking you with numbers. Like he's spend an entire paragraph saying things like, "10 to the 973rd power...that's a number with seven hundred billion zero's at the end." Maybe my brain just couldn't handle numbers that big and wanted to just move on. - I was disappointed that there wasn't much mention of where humans currently are in the scheme of things with evolution. He didn't touch at all (that I can remember) on where the species might go from here. - He also spent a lot of time talking about the infinitesimally small amount of time humans have been around comparatively speaking, but didn't really address the exponential technological progress we've made only in the past hundred years or so. Overall it was definitely worth reading, and I recommend it highly to anyone who's interested in the natural world. It was a little bit of a slog at times, but if you stick with it you come through having a much better understanding of the world.

One of my favorite books ever. I can't even put my finger on why it's so great, it just is. It's earthy and delicious and magical.

Thought this was a good book but a little slow at times.

I have conflicting feelings about this book. To me, the story content of the book isn't really what the book is about. The content is really the formal structure of the novel, almost similiar to a modernist painting- it's not so much about the subject in the painting but more about the formal elements of the painting itself. I appreciate how the stories interconnect to create an overall structure, but once I finished the book none of those stories really held any meaning for me. Any recurring themes were very broad and not really explored in a meaningful way.

Wow. I wasn't sure at first, the languid tone and pacing meant I had to be in the right state of mind, but this is ridiculously good on so many levels. It's the kind of writing you need to get lost in the poetry of, yet doesn't distance you from the characters or the plot. Highly recommended!

Eh, shoddy science at best. Interesting, but his lack of alternate explanations is making me crazy.

This isn't so much a story as a conceptual world construction that eventual fails to answer any questions or provide closure. I read this at the request of friend who wanted an engineers perspective on the concepts and potential technological applications and was left wanting. In the beginning Stephenson creates an intriguing world based on potential technologies and showcases the way these advances would impact societies and the political environment of the world but he starts to lose you as he moves from developing the construct into tell a story. Stephenson glosses over how any of these ideas are possible and completely ignores the changes that have would occurred to control the advances his world operates in. Quite frankly it would make more sense if the technology was some how discovered from aliens or some other improbably source rather than discovered by his societies. Ignoring the improbability of his future I struggled with his story, the build up and character development are pretty good but it eventually feels he is looking for a way out of the story and leaves the reader with a constant feeling that this is the first in a series of books as you continuously check the remaining pages, questioning how he will wrap everything up in time until you eventually realize that he doesn't. All in all it had some interesting concepts all be it ill conceived and his characters were likable but the book as a whole left me wanting a more substantial description of the technologies and mechanics of his future society as well as a less ambiguous ending to the story he is trying to tell.

** spoiler alert ** Impressed with the detail that Roth put into this book and what will trickle down to the trilogy as a whole. In reading many reviews I saw that people said it took awhile to get into this book. And understandably the reader grows with Beatrice as she becomes Tris hence the length. It's not like Hunger Games where the character is already strong and utilizes it in competition as she learns the truth about society. Beatrice is sheltered and has to learn from the get-go so it makes sense that Divergent has to take the time to have her mature. I like the simplicity of the language and directness of it throughout. It was a quick read for me and I enjoyed it and especially liked Four. He's at both times flawed and sensitive and strong. A great male lead. I also liked how Tris and he grew together. My favorite scene is when she has to face her fear of intimacy and in turn both of them learn a lot about each other. Great dialogue and lovely in general. Though I was saddened that in this like Marie Lu's Legend there were already so many casualties. It feels like people are being plucked off a bit early in the series though what happened through initiation was striking and kept me intrigued throughout. The last hundred pages went quite quickly and I was sorry for the growing body count already. Knowing how strong and intriguing Tris' parents are and that there's a lot about them she didn't know as people of Abnegation I was disheartened (SPOILER) that Roth killed them off so quickly. I was really hoping that the reader and Tris would learn a bit more through them as they seem like strong characters with a lot to offer the series. In a lot of YA parents are left to the wayside and it would've been nice to see Tris and Caleb learn more from them. It seemed somewhat wasteful to have the parents die so early on. All that said I'm invested enough to read Insurgent and what comes after. I like Tris and how she's grown to realize that there's no one thing you can be but multiple ones that make you a good person.

The students in my 1st grade cohort loved this book. Funny book about a siamese cat who is anything but that!
