This book moved just a touch slower than I wanted, sitting right at the edge of something suspenseful and thrilling but never quite getting there. It never had quite the big bang, wowzer, "Aha!" sort of climax that I hoped for, but I still loved it. Max Barry hops back and forth in time to let readers piece the full story together, which works really well and offers some satisfying reveals. Also: WORDS! A nerdy side of me really enjoyed imagining how this might be Noam Chomsky's "universal grammar" on steroids.
