mysteriousnorse 's review for:

Count Zero by William Gibson
4.0

It's a soft four as I really dislike the way one of the characters died at the end

, both as described and functionally as part of the narrative. Also, Turner's story, the literal first and last thing in the novel, started really slowly and took until half the novel to really take off. Bobby is okay, but he's rather passive. However, I did like quite a bit of the rest of it, and the epilogue left a smile on my face. Marly, the third lead, is easily the most likeable of the bunch, and her journey allows for the most introspection and decision on her part. Gibson, as always, weaves a beautiful and insane trip.

After finishing Mona Lisa Overdrive, this really feels like an incomplete first half as so much continues and concludes so much of the story.
