Neuromancer by William Gibson
adventurous
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This is one of the latest I've DNFed a book, but I realized I just didnt care anymore. Really like the world and what Gibson has created, but that is all I can say. At the time I get how ground breaking it was, so many things I enjoy I recognize in this book because of what Gibson created, but the characters, and story telling are rather sub par. What could have been a fun ride as I learned about this new type of world ended up being a bore as the world wasnt new to me. Had the characters been more interesting or maybe the story told more straight forwardly I would have continued, but at the end of the day I realized I just didnt care.
