Like the preceding Neuromancer, William makes you make some effort to keep up, and once again, it’s effort well repaid.
Adding insult to injury, this is the second copy i’ve tried of this book and they’ve both been rather badly edited. I’m not sure whether the original book is like that or if it’s the fault of the copying it over into ebook format. Anyway, i’ll judge it on the idea that the original doesn’t have all the punctuation and grammar faults and judge it as a damned good book, because, for all it’s faults in that area, it was well worth muddling through and making the effort for a really good story and characters.
Other thing to note: don’t expect to begin where you left off with Neuromancer either, because you won’t be. Instead you’ll be thrown around here there and everywhere in between with general hints and a few characters from Neuromancer popping up and/or in or maybe just getting a mention in passing.
Anyways, all is good and i’m straight into Mona Lisa Overdrive.
