He set the standard with that one and it's the book he's had to live up to ever since. And I've read pretty much all of them.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508488.post-1118085577848575352005-06-06T15:19:00.000-04:002005-06-06T15:19:00.000-04:00Since it was my first Gibson, I didn't have anythi...Since it was my first Gibson, I didn't have anything to compare it to--that might have had something to do with it.<BR/><BR/>It isn't that I actually like advertising.

But much as I loved Gibson's other books and wanted to like this, it was so slight and uninvolving compared to his other books, I just couldn't.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508488.post-1118073114995399992005-06-06T11:51:00.000-04:002005-06-06T11:51:00.000-04:00Huh.
