1.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes I get confused, 12 Sep 2006
This review is from: Rim: A Novel of Virtual Reality (Paperback)
Having read both Rim and Mir in quick succession I get confused as to which is worse. The one with the lack of story structure, plot, or characters? Or the other one, which is pretty much exactly the same. There are ideas here sure, I cannot fault Besher for coming up with some innovative concepts for how the future might look. This in itself is not enough. There needs to be a decent readable story too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear..., 4 Dec 2003
This review is from: Rim: A Novel of Virtual Reality (Paperback)
I have never felt the urge to review anything before. I would not wish this book on my worst enemy. It is incredibly badly written, already dated, and boring to the extreme. Without doubt the worst book I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent if you like that sort of thing, 5 Jun 2000
By A Customer
A very helpful title but... If you like the world Alexander Besher lives in, this is a great book, he intertwines Gibson cyberspace with Eastern mysticism and the results are surprisingly successful. A rare treat in that opposite ends of the evolutionary spectrum - the hippies and the geeks - can enjoy it and regard it as their own, private treasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read
A good read - a bit confused in places though. For fans of virtual reality this book has some great ideas. Found it hard to put down in the end.
