I should be excited. It has many things I really enjoy, but I'm finding I'm skim-reading chapters through boredom.

Great story so far. Getting a bit bogged down in the third act.

Loving this story so far. It's a lot more adventure oriented than I thought. I was expecting something a lot more in the Hard SF quarter, but there's a really nice balance here.

Gibson spoils me. Every time I read a non Gibson book I feel there's something missing, the prose doesn't quite work the insights dull. Zero History is as good as anything in his back catalogue. So far it still has that razor insight, commentary, and characters that don't fit the stereotypes with ease.

Love the paranoia and slow-burn creepiness so far. Great stuff. Pacing is perfect.

Great read so far, was instantly hooked by the writing style and the first-person narration of the weird and mysterious Area X.

Fun book so far. It's currently retaining the original flavour of the first films and the Zahn books despite its fairly basic prose-style.
