Count me squarely in the "love it" camp. Something happened to me with this book that I don't think has ever happened to me before: I dreamed about it a lot. It took me about ten to fifteen days to read it once I decided to sit down and do it. I would say that at least seven nights my dreams were invaded by the characters. I'd say big credit to Stephenson on that. I have very few qualms with the book. If anything, I thought its pacing was too fast. That is, 80% of the book felt like a third act. But on the other hand, that really keeps you turning the pages.
