The Diamond Age

There were a lot of entertaining narrative threads in this book, which almost seemed to be picked up and discarded at random. The two 'main' storylines, concerned Nell and John Percival Hackworth. I found it really intriguing how Nell's life story was told partially in reality, and partially through the interactive stories from the Primer. Hackworth's story was interesting enough, but I felt that it lacked the emotional depth of Nell's.

The world was interesting, and the prose was quirky and densely packed with information. There were a lot of unresolved subplots, and the ending was very abrupt, but I had so much fun reading the book that I was mostly disappointed that it had ended at all.
