Gibson tends to write trilogies in so far as he generally writes three consecutive books that inhabit the same time, though not necessarily the same place and have characters in common.Anne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258633760886787723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27068668.post-54676133513832523412007-08-30T17:35:00.000+10:002007-08-30T17:35:00.000+10:00I enjoyed 'Neuromancer'(read it earlier this year ...I enjoyed 'Neuromancer'(read it earlier this year for the first time) I read it all in one go without stopping to try and figure out what the heck it was all about!
