William Gibson is trying to hard for me in this book. It reads too much like a movie script and there are so many character names in the book that it makes it hard to keep all the character straight. For me, all the computer lingo that the author uses makes it difficult for me to grasp what the author is trying to say. I have a grasp of what I think is happening in the book, but I don’t think I get certain aspects of the book.
If the author would have just taken it down a notch or two, I believe, that I would have been able to enjoy the book more. This particular book is the first Sci-Fi book that I ever read and it shows because I cannot keep the characters straight in the book and I don’t understand what a coffin is.
Is the coffin a bed or is it just simply a room where Case sleeps. What is a Sprawl? I know what the word means but why is it capitalized? The rest of the book might change my opinion of the book but I guess I will have to keep reading to find out.
