2007/10/16 Very good [Original Japanese review]
by Okyan Provider: 14047 Host:13994 Browser: 6307
It is serious to also read very much the reader who this novel read the translation monochrome novel and SF novel, and has got used till the beginning the opening part - the middle stage.
I may be able to consider to enumeration of the word which does not obtain a target in the least at first.
Although it is natural and is the big feature of this novel, since it is the text currently devised in order to combine a special term and to create a completely new image, if the meaning of language tends to be connected finely and it is going to read and comprehend it, brains will think that they start panic by the surfeit of information.
I think that it is also aimed at (^^;) .
It osusume thinking "it is such a thing", reading and advancing, without caring at first.
rather than -- otherwise, I consider [ ぶ・ん / た and / - that it can finish reading and ] (smile) It is yo which was not understood in the least till the middle stage when ぶっちゃけ and I also read at first.
If it can read casually while reading, advancing and reflecting on, since there are not so many characters and proper nouns, "what was closed", and it will think that they become after the middle stage.
But when having finished reading, it was excited to the highest!!
.
Although it is also in the words of hero CASE, it is with "凄え (su ge e)." If a movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" calls it reconstruction of the acute image which an image depends, the novel this "neuro-man sir" may be able to be called reconstruction of the image in a character.
I think that this novel is the rare book with which it has succeeded in the uncanny thing.
When a word and language are treated with a novel etc., a text is constituted at origin combining "common recognition (consensus)." for example, "-- if it says with red evening glow" that it burns, everyone will visualize the same scenery It will become more concrete if time, a place, an ornament word, and expression are added.
However, what should it carry out for expressing the space (view of the world) which cannot imagine at all what was seen, either?
.
For example, what should it carry out for expressing the view of the world to which it is really what space although there is the word "cyberspace (cyberspace)", or it is a concept, or the reader has done neither experience nor experience at all once "in written form"?
.
[ novel / this ] The one answer is in "this book." "This book" has the crystal which was being wished many SF novels and image writers wish, and want to express.
Before this novel, I regard a "攻殻 riot squad", "Avalon", "inosensu", etc.
as growing dim.
I think that this work is taking pains also over translation considerably.
Although Japanese translation of "cyberspace" etc.
comes out, the "cyberspace" and the kana are shaken beside the language.
which word -- here -- と -- about -- the kana is shaken I think that difficulties of translation appear in the place currently written together.
He is conscious of translation as if it was reading the text.
Although it will probably be better to read in the English text probably, a deer is carried out but, and if this translation is read to the last, it can obtain the feeling of 疾走 which is probably equal to the original word, a feeling of a drive, and the feeling of an upsurge of frightful soul.
This thinks that it is great.
Although becoming interesting has many books which are the last last with a translation novel, after a story also collects a work called this neuro-man sir to ワ- ~ っ, and a breath and finally develops it with a frightful feeling of 疾走, and a feeling of a drive like the rest, the last has some which come to jiワ ~ っ, and the heart.
Classicism Although appearance is also written, this novel requires all imaginative power of a reader's brain.
This novel is not surely demanding the fixed image.
Therefore, what image is swollen.
But many readers may be getting used to the novel which pulls out the given image (common recognition), not being used to construction of one's image, and puzzled.
It is a novel with text expression which brings about the hallucination (fantasy)-action of a kind which will become a peculiarity if a scene appears in the heart so that it may flow in a brain, if it reads at once although an image cannot be held easily at first, and it imagines boldly and happily, and it rereads with 2 times and 3 times.
although at least "the blue flower" of novarisu (if it says so -- the romanticists) will be thought of with the book which is at hand if it is called a visionary novel, I become and regard whether an equal is carried out to such high-density literature as it being the book of a rare kind I am very 惹かれます to the comfortable feeling of a drive which is brewed from language rather than a main point with an exquisite story, or a plot and a new detail and which cannot say not at all, and the narrative style which can be immersed in a fancy (hallucination-imagination space).
There are many impressed novels, however there is no novel which is equal to "this comfort" of this novel very much.
It osusume surely reading to the last.
Although he wants to make it the "highest" since the book expressing a feeling of a drive and the feeling of an upsurge more than this book does not have the place of now individually, there is also the portion "よな - having read at first was serious", and synthetic evaluation presupposes "it is very good" whether the "highest" will take from now on near [ it is infinite to the "highest" and ] it.
Section 1 of description at the last "cyberpunk is the language which expressed the style of gibusun from the first."

2007/09/21 Best! [Original Japanese review]
by 古典主義 Provider: 27646 Host:27446 Browser: 5234
Hero CASE was the hacker in the future world who connects self to the cyber- world and steals data, and a common name "a cowboy." A how [ to be "never able to carry out cyber- connection" ] nerve is damaged by the retaliation which betrayed the employer.
It is intercepted from cyber 恍惚 and sum rye woman morii of a mirror shade which gave reconstruction for a battle before him who becomes overmedication on outskirts and survives by black-marketing, and employer aamiteji of a mystery appear.
aamiteji which requests hacking from the compensation of a re-connectable operation.
The story [ the attack of the influence of the mystery which tries the employer real intention is not in sight, and disturbance although it was the CASE which joins partisans without acceptance or declining may trifle, and ] ...
[Good point] A setup like a cheat picture and the text which stuffed the image which giragira(ed) by the future world being dirty.
The truth of the incident which was complicated and was complicated which is in sight in process in which break up and ばれた piece is collected.
While coming and going the cyber- world [ being confused ] and indecent reality with a hero, it can carry out skilled [ of the real thrill as a kind mystery ].
For read although it is powerful, since, as for the text, do ぎつく and an indecent expression are emphasized purposely, and solving, it is necessary to make imaginative power brawny.
[bad point] an intricately complicated setup -- purposely -- ?
work universal language -- breaking up -- eye ば, and presence and an indecent feeling -- large text the stage which changes round and round -- very much -- first -- it is hot If this deployment and text cannot be followed, only confusion and embarrassment will remain intently.
[Comprehensive evaluation] "Highest." Although the friend "it could not read at all" was, when it was made to read saying "It is rewarded if it reads to the last, reflecting on", it changed to "wonderful" evaluation.
Although honesty and for everybody are not thought at all, there are force and a taste in depiction which makes a crime writer and the James eruroi consider, which throws 混沌 in the work world to a reader and which giragira(ed).
moreover -- in fact -- 本作 -- "-- it is involved in and is model suspense" if the conspiratorial truth, the joint struggle, and betrayal in which a hero participates gradually can be seen -- 俄然 -- it becomes interesting a text and the hurdle of a setup -- very superior [ as crime thing ?
or a kind of a fantasy novel ] also as SF, although it is high If it can ride on this wave [ being confused ], it can carry out skilled [ of the only best world ].

2007/09/21 Worst [Original Japanese review]
by Sharu Provider: 1407 Host:1250 Browser: 5598
Although read, it has stopped that the meaning of the talk is not understood well and reads on the way.
Honesty and the talk were not able to be followed ...
the computer network of the near future -- so and so -- although it thought that it was the talk of the touch ..., even if many technical terms and difficult expression are used and were reading, the contents have not been grasped at all Therefore, was it the touch which cannot hold a view of the world at all ...
However, since it is SF work of touch that a computer and technology are described deeply, if it is those who are interested in a network or a machine, there is an impression which can be enjoyed as it is.
if those interested read -- an implication -- I think that it is felt deep I am reading and he can completely be enjoyed, and it is that there was nothing (a genre did not suit) and evaluation is made into the "worst."
