Query: Very Disappointing

I received this book from a friend who said he could not put it down. I am sorry to say that I have 50 pages left to ready and I find it painful to pick up. The book an interesting historical side to it, but beyond that it frequently wanders off into irrelevant tangents that are excruciatingly painful to slog through. Cryptomonicon turns a tale that can be portrayed in 300 pages into a 900 page novel full of noise. The author feels compelled to fill the book with statistical techno-babble that is interesting the first time but annoying as the book proceeds. For the last 300 pages of the book I have skipped entire sections of the book when I encounter one of the author's fits-of-jabbering over some trivial point in the book. Finally, the author's 3rd person writing technique reminds me of my own dismal attempt at writing in six grade.
