A review by dale_in_va
The Peripheral by William Gibson
3.0
I liked the plot of this book. I found the plot compelling, and the characters likeable (in general). The world it built was believeable and engaging. The people were multidimensional, the premise worth while.
I listened to this book as an audiobook. So from a listening point of view the writing was unclear and confusing at times. But the promise of an interesting ending was enough to have me stick with it. The details were sometimes difficult to grasp and some characters, outside the main ones took time to sort out. So it took me about twice as long to read this book as it should have if the writing and plot were more clearly laid out.
That said, my listening skills can use a bit of improvement, so the book may actually be more cohesive and well written in the written version.
