This colossal book is actually three different novels intertwined. Two are set in the WWII era and one takes place in the mid 1990s. Some of the same characters appear in more than one novel and so do their descendants. Cryptonomicon is fascinating for its exploration of mathematics and code breaking, and some actual historical characters have major roles. I loved this book! It was laugh out loud funny in several places and was always entertaining -- plus I learned many new vocabulary words as well! My highest recommendation!
