I've come to expect a certain type of writing and story from William Gibson. So, to rate it low for the type of author he is, isn't fair, but still...this is the highest I could rate this story.
I liked this book better than some of his books, but I still feel he makes his stories overly complicated...for really no reason.
He has a plethera of characters, but rarely do we get an in depth understanding about their motivations.
I like the overall story, but the execution of it leaves me wanting. I want to know more about these characters and why they do/don't do what they are doing/not doing.
Frustrated, but still going to finish out this trilogy. Glutton for punishment, I guess.
