I've been reading Neuromancer, had it on my list for long time... But I just can't get through it. It moves slowly, the main character makes dumb choices (facepalm level), has a flat personality, sex is very male-centric and flat/unimaginative (but that is in most older scifi "here an interesting female with a loose sexual morale to spice up the story").

I stopped somewhere half way. Someone spoiled the plot so I know it should get epic at some point but I just can't get there. Am I the only one?

Molly is actually a fairly interesting and complex character if you follow her from Johnny Mnenmonic all the way through Neuromancer (especially the second half) and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

It's tempting to write off Case's behavior as just a realistic portrayal of a washed up addict, but thematically there's a strong and likely intentional parallel between the way he's coming apart and the way one of the main AIs in the story is coming apart. If you add in Linda Lee and the other AI, what Gibson was trying to do becomes a lot clearer. I'm intentionally being vague to avoid spoilers.

I mean, the main character is a washed out, aging, drug junkie has-been, of course he makes bad choices. :)
