is it just me or does the first third of the book is extremly lame?
the secon third is getting a bit better.
now i am in the last quarter and it starts to be good.

how where they ever able to convert this into a movie?
Or is it possible that i don't get it or am i too old for this kind of books (i'm 50)

keep reading

I don't think age has anything to do with it. (I'm 31)

Just finished Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. Really enjoyed it and am reading the second in the series featuring the Villian hero Takeshi Kovacs. Thanks for the great recommendation MR members!
I agree, it's rather boring, and in the case of the French edition it's badly translated too
