The first 80 pages of the book I'm reading now have gone by much faster than the first 30 of Neuromancer did!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-13360112328819670282008-02-17T11:48:00.000-05:002008-02-17T11:48:00.000-05:00I picked it up to read "the first" as well, and wa...I picked it up to read "the first" as well, and was so confused and disappointed i couldn't finish it...

Honestly, I probably would have put it back on the shelf after reading a third of it, but it won a poll here for the next book to review, so I felt I should actually finish it.<BR/><BR/>I even like gritty fiction, but this one didn't work for me. It's always hard to get through a book when you are unable to care about the characters, and I didn't care about them one bit, either. Plus most of it was just plain dull.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-51443777590219139472008-02-16T16:37:00.000-05:002008-02-16T16:37:00.000-05:00I admire you for even getting through this novel. ...I admire you for even getting through this novel. Yes, it's a short book but I only made it halfway through. I never cared a whit about the characters and I found the world too bleak to endure.<BR/><BR/>But then, I'm no fan of gritty fiction, which this certainly is.Tia Nevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489109929908389257noreply@blogger.com
