Finished: Tuesday<br /><br />William gibson is one of my favorite authors. In this book, he seems to have stuck a taperecorder in my head and written down my thoughts (if they took a logical form). Anyway, some people might find the prose convoluted but I found it inciteful. he also managed to find and create my perfect male counterpart. Too bad about the fiction thing.<br /><br />His main character is a "coolhunter" searching for the latest new trend. She's searching for the origins of some mysterious movie footage (and her father, who vanished Sept. 11) while dodging various baddies, corporate scandals, etc. Her interesting quirk is that she has a logo-phobia, especially of really dorky ones like the Michelin Man.<br /><br />RATING: Must Read. Unless you hate ranty/florid descriptive passages.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13322751-111759551491505593?l=basilsbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034769963911709260noreply@blogger.com1
