Book Reviews of All Tomorrow's Parties
Book Review: A tale told in a way as only Gibson can, perfectly.
Summary: 5 Stars
When reading the stories of William Gibson, one feels as if they are being offered some snippet from the the future as it will be. For those who haven't read any of his previous work, this is an ideal opener in that yet again he surpasses himself in astounding all that read it. For those who have read his work before, and most probably follow religiously, this will not fail to impress.The third in a trilogy, it continues the story woven around those introduced through Idoru and Virtual Light. Without giving too much away it brings together Laney and Rydell for another job, this time pulling them deepend into the matrix of events that the world has become.
What I found best about this story is Gibsons talent for description. He places beauty into technology in a way nobody else can, describing a computer more like a dew covered rose.
Buy this book, not because it's a net-story or becuase it's written by the man some call the Godfather of the internet, but simply becuase it's a beautifully written book that will capture you from front to back. Budding authors would do good to learn from this man and so would a few hardened professionals
