Bättre än Neuromancer, men fortfarande lite för rörigt. Personporträtten är bättre, men det är egentligen allt. Osalig blandning av sci-fi och nån slags fantasy.
DNF @ half of the book.
Tried giving the sequel a chance after I dragged myself through the first book. I must agree with the others in saying that this part is the better written novel in comparison to the first one, however this doesn‘t mean that the characters are being portrayed any more interestingly, their names being dropped less randomly or that the entire story is less confusing, not jumping from A to B to X and back to a completely different setting again.
The thing is, I really want to like these since they are the cyberpunk origins and whatnot, but I just can’t get over how confusing and seemingly lackluster these books are written.

Less streamlined and focused than its predecessor Neuromancer. Enjoyable but keeps you at a distance. Not required reading in my opinion. But I might need to give it another shot to see if I was wrong.

I am really confused by William Gibson's books. Once again about the first 20% of the book were hard to follow, it was hard to understand what was happening and all the characters seemed all the same.
After 20% I was able to make sense, most of it, however there were still confusing moments some times.
It was great the that some characters and event from the first book were mentioned inn this story, I was able to connect some dots...I think)
For some reason from all of the characters Marly was the only one standing out for me, all the other ones seemed rather one dimensional.

She'd worn her best for the interview, but it was raining in Brussels and she had no money for the cab.
Sentences like this really confuse me, probably they seem more nonsensical to me or just overloaded anyway they bug me. The book is full of this type of sentences.
As a whole I would say the story is interesting, the characters are not.
