I finally got around to reading this classic piece of sci-fi literature. And I was not disappointed! A fast-paced adventure in a dystopian future. Unfortunately, the writer's style at some times distracts from the story, especially the feeling that he was sponsored by every major premium brand of the 80s and therefore had to mention them at every opportunity. As an example of this, if the characters are already stood in a Hilton hotel the carpet is going to be Hilton patterned and the staff are going to be in Hilton uniforms; this does not need mentioning especially in consecutive sentences or even the same one.
