Hmmmm interesting... a little disappointing! I picked this one up maybe 9 months ago on recommendation of a... well he's not really a booktuber lol -- Jeff Cannata of the DLC podcast. He's been doing video game stuff for many years but recently started a bookclub deep diving Malazan (if you search DLC Bookclub you'll see their videos). Anyway he loves this book and I grabbed it from my local bookstore in a haul. This exact edition by the way! Haven't got around to it yet, and still will... but I have a feeling I'll probably like it the same as you. Mixed bag makes sense. But hey, nice maps! And big floppy book appreciation!! I kinda hate hardcovers nowadays lol, give me a proper MMPB or TPB any day :D
@@NevsBookChannelI think so! For some reason I always get Neuromancer and Snow Crash mixed up… trust me I know that doesn’t make any sense… but I know for sure I’ve read Neuromancer and liked it, and I THINK I read Snow Crash and liked it… but both woulda been 20+ years ago so idk man, I don’t remember that shit anymore 😂 Unhelpful answer I know but I am hopeful I’d like Stephenson’s stuff in general!
@@slidenaway understandable. I’m pretty hazy on what happened in Neuromancer as well! I can highly recommend Cryptonomicon - the ending is so-so but the rest of the book is great!
Your UA-cam video content is so good. However the video does not get many views. Because your UA-cam channel has some problems. Do you want to know about the problems?
