- macando 6y agoNeuromancer is horrible. One of the few books where I gave up midway through. My expectations were so high. I guess it's famous because it pioneered the genre.

It's definitely one of my all time favorites. I guess that's what makes these threads so interesting. Seeing just how radically different two people's respective opinions on the same book can be.
