Things from the two predecessor books collide here. As usual, don't look up any doubts that will arise. They eill eventually be explained. I kinda enjoyed this more than Deadhouse Gates.

Feely as fuck. You have been warned. Totally worth it, though.

Was quite difficult to engage with in the beginning. What they say is true. You really gotta push at first. It gets gripping soon, though. Stick with it. So many questions, so many answers, and so many more questions. By the end, I was eager to immediately start the next book.

Bleak, in-your-face, depressing, but with that edge of hope, that light at the end of the tunnel. Classic cyberpunk fare. Naturally, it would bw, seeing as it's Gibson. Love it!

 An interesting ride! You got ghosts and psychopaths and possibly psychopathy exacerbated by said ghosts.
Make up your mind! End is too abrupt but I like that. The story is told. There is no more.

I've seen the show first. Loved it. Loved the book in spite of the differences. In retrospect, the show is  actually a very good adaptation of the book. 
Glad to see there are a lot more novels to get through. I'm loving it.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. The day-by-day format from tthe previous book is not there, but this is still as good, with a few interesting twists.
