Neal Stephenson
“Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling.” - Time
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations - whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (Snow Crash), or both (Cryptonomicon). With Reamde, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace - not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton - once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, Reamde is a new high - and a new world - for the remarkable Neal Stephenson.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“Stephenson...delivers a sprawling thriller that shows him in complete control of his story.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Noir futurist Stephenson returns to cyberia with this fast-moving though sprawling techno-thriller...Who’ll prevail? We don’t know till the very end, thanks to Stephenson’s knife-sharp skills as a storyteller. An intriguing yarn—most geeky, and full of satisfying mayhem.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Sometimes when you’re reading Neal Stephenson, he doesn’t just seem like one of the best novelists writing in English right now; he seems like the
only one.” (Lev Grossman, Time)
Wow! What a cracking listen.

The narrator has a pleasant and expressive voice but cannot do accents, his Scottish accent was so bad it almost made my ears bleed!
I struggled through to the end just to find out what happened but it was underwhelming and I wished i hadn't bothered.
Bloated with terrible accents.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Set in the present day, Reamde takes the listener on a wild ride across both virtual and real world locations. Combining classic Stephenson super-clever spins on current and near-future technologies with "Bourne Supremacy" level action, this one's all killer and no filler.What did you like best about this story?
It's got a sense of humour and real heart but does not pull punches in terms of characters or situational development.What about Malcolm Hillgartner’s performance did you like?
Great pace.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
"Reamde : Staying alive is more than a game"Any additional comments?
It's got the length of "Cryptonomicon" with the pace of "Snow Crash" - highly recommend for all Stephenson fans.Fast-paced, ultimately satisfying!

If you could sum up Reamde in three words, what would they be?
Epically convoluted adventureWhat did you like best about this story?
This stunning quest for gold and revenge manages to cross half the real world and a fantasy one too. Non stop plot that never looses the thread.What does Malcolm Hillgartner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Hillgarten's reading lights up the characters, and even though his Russian/Hungarian accents verge through Mexico and Pakistan, his English accent is so POSH it's almost comic, and his Welsh is um.... he's obviously never heard a Welsh accent, he keeps the pace going so that one wants to just keep listening.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
This could not be made into a film. Maybe a series of films. There is just too much stuff.Any additional comments?
I'll be looking for more by both the author and the narrator. Very good listening.Quality and quantity - can't go wrong.
