While not as mind-alteringly good as Neuromancer I really liked this one. It suffers from Gibson's, uh, issues with writing women and black characters, but he can still WRITE. The first chapter of the Bobby thread is some of the most startling good writing in the whole book. 

Classic continuation of the Sprawl Trilogy. Some of the same disconnection and rough edges as the first volume, but still more than worth the time!
