Title: Big disappointment
Product review: Having liked both 'Idoru' and 'Virtual Light', I was excited to hear that ATP was going to include the characters from both of the previous books. However, the new book, while not terrible, is really devoid of anything exciting and the characters aren't developed any further than they already were. In particular, Laney's representation in the book is extremely one-dimensional and meaningless. The others aren't a lot better either.All in all, when I finished ATP, I couldn't shake the impression that this book was written to fulfill contractual obligations that Gibson had to the publisher. At least I'd like to hope so, because the alternative is that his originality is beginning to dry up.
