A review by benlundns
Neuromancer by William Gibson
1.0
Confusing, illegible, disjointed and disappointing.
It starts out confusing and you keep reading thinking things will start to make sense and will start to come together...they don't.
You think that the plot will coalesce into a clear narrative... it doesn't
You think that you will find yourself rooting for a clear underdog... you won't.
Just this side of unreadable, I did finish it, but only by resisting the urge to throw it onto my too-bad-to-finish pile, because I had heard so much about it.
This book may have been groudbreaking when it was released and some of the ideas are impressive just for him coming up with them or predicting the direction we would be going, but as a work of enjoyable fiction it falls flat on it's face.
