Sleeping Giants

This is more of a 3.5 than a solid 4 for me, all things considered. Sleeping Giants is different than anything I've read lately, and I appreciate it for that reason alone. While I felt that it dragged at certain points (mostly when it was info-dumping, an unfortunate result of the interview format), it held my attention for most of its 300-ish pages.

It had a real sense of mystery and wonder, though that feeling seemed to come and go after the first few “parts” of the book. Unanswered questions are littered throughout, some that add mystery and some that just frustrate. The good usually outweighs the bad however, and I'll be looking for the sequel.
