Kevin Pariseau, I have only one gripe and that is this: Being British I am used to the word 'primer' being pronounced 'prime' with an 'r' on the end not 'prim' with an 'er' on the end and I winced every time it occurred.This does not, however, in any way prevent me from heartily recommending this fabulous audiobook.

Story was fantastic but would have given 5 stars if it had an ending.

It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age. Overall, I was HUGELY disappointed- I kept reading, hoping it would get better- it didn't and then it just ended as if the author was bored with the story. Laural Merlington,



Another typical Stephenson story: a Dickensian host of characters, philosophical conversations on topics such as education, parenthood, statism, and nanotechnology.

Re-downloaded to ensure highest quality rate, but all qualities were poor. Richard Forthrast created T’Rain, a multibillion-dollar, massively multiplayer online role-playing game. They have also unwittingly triggered a deadly war beyond the boundaries of the game’s virtual universe - and Richard is at ground zero. The narration is simply excellent, with appropriate accents and timbre, but not overdone or excessively stereotypical. The first hour or so seem a little confusing, but stick it through and you will get to know the main characters. As a matter of fact, it's my third.

and others, Narrated by: Hence my 4 stars on the performance.I would recommend The Diamond Age with some caveats - this is definitely an adult novel and you have to be a reader willing to push on through some confusion to enjoy this. The novel deals with themes of education, social class, ethnicity, and the nature of artificial intelligence.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer of the sub-title is a nanotechnological marvel, an interactive book, initially the only one in existence, which falls into the hands of Nell, a young girl trapped in the underclass with her street rat brother and feckless, drunken mother.

The substandard audio is a real shame because Jennifer Wiltsie is a very talented narrator who manages a great many accents convincingly. The first half of the book is truly brilliant; both science fiction and fantasy woven together with beautiful Victorian-toned prose. The Diamond Age.

Her life — and the entire future of humanity — is about to be decoded and reprogrammed.… "NEAL STEPHENSON IS THE QUENTIN TARANTINO OF POSTCYBERPUNK SCIENCE FICTION.…HAVING FIGURED OUT HOW TO ENTERTAIN THE HELL OUT OF A MASS AUDIENCE, STEPHENSON HAS LIKEWISE UPPED THE FORM'S ANTE WITH RAMBUNCTIOUS GLEE." As we've come to expect from Stephenson, the tech in this book, no matter how advanced and extravagant, is well thought out and coherent. 4 stars for everything because I found myself skipping forward over a few parts, and the audio quality was surprisingly inferior to other productions available.

I remember not liking it as much as Snowcrash, maybe because I wanted more of the tower of babel stuff.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2013. And the female reader does a superb job, rendering the various accents from the neo-Victorians to the Bronx confucianism of Judge Fang so delightfully that I think listening to this is probably even better than reading it.
