Has anyone here ever read Neuromancer?

I found the .pdf but the .pdf has many less pages than the book on Amazon. How do I know this is the real deal?
ive read it and have the book on my shelf. whats the last page or sentence say ill tell you if legit.
I have it as well and I can let you know if this guy is lying. >>8257688
Conceptually fascinating, verbally stilted at times. Would definitely read if you're interested in the cyberpunk genre, or artificial intelligence, that is if you're willing to skim past some clunky yet occasionally vibrant writing.
Atmospherically dark, a bit like Blade Runner.
I don't think anyone has ever read a genre-defining work on this literature-themed message board.

odd statement

I skimmed through it. It looks real

virtually illegible. some of the worst prose of the 20th century.
I liked it when I was about thirteen, but I haven't read it since. I get the feeling I wouldn't like it now.

I think you might be literally too dumb to understand it

Yeah the prose isn't the greatest. Its on par with translations of japanese light novels.
This happens because the editorial chooses a different font and paper size.
I just finished reading do Androids dream of electric sheep on pdf and it was the right length despite having twice as less pages.

Post the first and last words of a few random chapters, we can verify. You're probably fine but why don't you just get a fucking library card?
i tried reading it recently but only got thirty or so pages in before i got bored of the prose style and emphasis on world building over substance.

then its definitely not for you. Gibson is about 70% neat tech ideas and 30% anything else. you need to like that kind of stuff.
also the man cant end a book to save his life.

This
OP, don't try to read it too late. Its best if you're underage b&, I think I was 22 when I tried to read it because I wanted more Blade Runner, and it works, but it isn't great. The prose kills it.
I've tried reading it several times. I just can't get into the prose. Super clunky and kind of vague IMO.
