The Peripheral by William Gibson
3.0
Sryle, not for me, apparently.
There were significant differences between the book and the screenplay of the Amazon Prime series. That's not unusual, but in this case, I personally enjoyed the screenplay better.
My biggest issue was the book's writing style that I initially found iintriguing, but then it wore thin on me pretty quickly. For me, that writing style seemed to get in the way of my visualization of the scenes. A decent story otherwise.

Resonance
This book resonated with me on so many levels, from the time frame it was set in, to the rural eastern US setting, to what country boys get into in the countryside, to what we THOUGHT we knew about the world, and girls.... and how important family and community was (we took for granted) back then and there. This book made me long for those simpler times. Very well written and voiced. I highly recommend it for anyone, but especially for anyone who grew up in similar circumstance.
