royaroo 's review for:

Agency by William Gibson
DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Twin narratives that gave me more questions than answers, little explanation for confusing elements, and dense and boring exposition left me struggling to get engaged no matter how hard I tried. The narrator (I listened to the audiobook) sounded like an AI voice, which made it irritatingly impossible to connect with any characters or feel like there was ANY emotion at all in the performance. I'm frustrated that I could not finish the book as I've long wanted to read William Gibson's work, but this was just so boring it was becoming torture.
