A pretty good end...

A pretty good end to Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy that leaves you with a few unanswered questions. (What exactly happened to Wintermute/Neuromancer to cause it to fracture?)

Best sprawl narrative.

This is one of Gibson's most complete novels. Almost seamless from start to finish it flows i a almost organic fashion from one plot point to another. The background on the net star is priceless. Best sprawl narrative of the trilogy.

Not Free SF Reader

Second girl cyberpunk mystery.

Count Zero, or Bobby Newmark appears in this book, as does Molly, the Street Samurai, and the odd other bit player, as the Neuromancer 'trilogy' continues.

A young girl that doesn't seem to quite belong in this society is of interest to many people, and Molly is a protector. She also happens to look somewhat like a famous actress, who becomes another important character, and has connections to the strange online voodoo world

Some more of the same from Gibson, but another good novel.

Probably my favorite Gibson

This is probably my favorite Gibson. I feel it to have his strongest character development, which is something that has never been his strong point. This is was his peak before he did the awful Virtual Light.

Razor girl shines

This novel along with neuromancer allows sally shears aka molly to shine. In this novel she plays a more supporting role than in neuromancer but still manages to grab you every time she appears. This novel adds much needed background to the sprawl. A read well worth any Gibson fans time. Think of that..Gideon's Fall: When You Dont Have a Prayer, Only a Miracle Will Do
