I found it slow to get into, but absolutely raced through the last section of the book. It's very good, but I don't imagine that it would appeal to everyone. Between a couple of quite graphic moments, and a lot of jargon, the book could be off-putting
I'd recommend it if you like creative, idea-driven sci-fi; or if you just want to read something that's dated, but rightfully defined genres for decades to come. However, the story itself doesn't quite do justice to the ideas and the tone that defines the book.
If you liked Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson, then you'll probably like Neuromancer for similar reasons, but the two books also have similar issues.
