Summary: The story is great it's the art I have a problem with
Comment: I really enjoy the book Neuromancer, and was really excited when I found a copy of the graphic novel in a used book store in my home town. Since it was sealed I could not look inside until I got home. I must say I was truly dissapointed with the poor art work. I realize the story is the thing, but I bought a graphic novel for the graphics, I already have the text version, and would have stuck with it had I known the art work would be so bad. There is no excuse for a novel of such high quality to have such a low standard of art. While the street scenes and inside scenes looked good the people were lacking. I thought that the character Molly Millions was drawn especially poorly. She looks like Sylvester Stallone in drag most of the time. I am sorry to say this graphic novel was a dissapointment.

Summary: Proudly the base of nowadays Internet and Virtual Reality
Comment: If you like SF, specially the cyberpunk branch, this book is a must. Case, a Netrunner (who cannot jack in the net due some neural damage) is hired to do another run, to crack an ICE, to get into Tessier-Ashpools data...

Gibson's world is vivid, and he takes us trough lot of scenarios, all of them decadent, and all of them possible these days: Night CIty in Japan, Istambul, An spacial station full of Rastafarian guys (The sionites), Ashpool the last of the true magnats in the world...

And the personages are all interestng: Molly, a bodyguard (a razon-girl) with some kind of mirrorshades instead of eyes, Ratz: a bartender with a russian plastic arm, and even the AI's.

I liked it very much, and it's avery good introduction tho the cyberpunk world, that has been partially showed to us with films like "Johnny Mnemonic" or "Lawnmower", and the recent released "The Matrix"

just a comment. The term "CYBERSPACE" first appeared in this novel

Rating: 4
Summary: a vivid translation, better than the Johnny Mnemonic movie
Comment: I'm fortunate to have a copy of this. It covers the first third or so of Neuromancer. It's a shame they didn't continue it.
