I am really confused by William Gibson's books. Once again about the first 20% of the book were hard to follow, it was hard to understand what was happening and all the characters seemed all the same.
After 20% I was able to make sense, most of it, however there were still confusing moments some times.
It was great the that some characters and event from the first book were mentioned inn this story, I was able to connect some dots...I think)
For some reason from all of the characters Marly was the only one standing out for me, all the other ones seemed rather one dimensional.
She'd worn her best for the interview, but it was raining in Brussels and she had no money for the cab.
Sentences like this really confuse me, probably they seem more nonsensical to me or just overloaded anyway they bug me. The book is full of this type of sentences.
As a whole I would say the story is interesting, the characters are not.
