Zihninden anlattığı karakterin kişiliğine uygun kelime ve cümle seçimleriyle hoş yazılmış, birinin bitişiyle ötekinin bağlangıcını enteresan bir teknikle bağlayan kısa bölümleri vardı. Bu özelliği dışında kitabı sevdiğimi söyleyemeyeceğim.

Kullandığı dil bazı yerlerde çok anlaşılmazdı benim için. Kurgudaki bazı hamlelerini, özellikle en son bölümdeki bazı tercihlerini anlamlandıramadım. Ama kitabın sonu beklediğimin aksine bir felaket değildi. Daha iyi yazılabilirdi ama daha kötü de yazılabilirdi. Eh, ucuz etin yahnisi...

Okuyacak güzel şeyleriniz varsa onlara yönelin derim. Enteresan bir tat arıyorsanız da buraya uğramaktan çekinmeyin.

When you strongly dislike a character who's the focus of around a third of a novel, it's pretty hard to enjoy the whole thing. It's not bad, but I just didn't like it too much. It does, however, have a pretty good last minute twist. I've read worse cyberpunk stories, definitely.

Reading the book made me want to play the game again :)
