I wouldn't rate it as highly as Necromancer or Count Zero, but it is still a fun read, full of Gibson's style.

It was very interesting, and I really liked when the characters were interwoven with one another. The writing was wonderful and intricate, but even by the end...I began to realize that the writing wasn't exactly for me since I began to grow tired of it. LOL. Nonetheless, the story itself was great, and I enjoyed it, even as it came to its conclusion. :)

The writing style makes it harder to follow than it should be. Things that should be spelled out are only implied.

More cinematic than the prior entry. Three equally interesting and distinct stories woven together. I liked this but nowhere near as much as Neuromancer.
