2.0

 I thought I'd really enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, but it was nothing like it. And it has (almost) nothing to do with it. It's basically a sequel to the 1982 Blade Runner movie (which btw is horrible)
The disappointment starts with the writing, so awkward and confusing.
-There is a repetitive cycle of events that made things predictable.
-The dialogues are shallow and boring.
- The characters are so stupid and take a long time figuring out something so obvious.
I can confirm that the first and last 50 pages of the book were good, and everything in between is screwed up.
