You would think no one can nail a trilogy this perfectly.
But Gibson did just that.
Mona Lisa Overdrive closes the circle, and is both an end and a start for Gibson's cyberpunk theogony.
I terribly enjoyed reading it, and the only fault I could find was its length. I would have loved to have the time to delve a bit deeper in the life of the characters, and to get, if anything, more attached.

what a great ending to a great trilogy! Loved it. Gibson's writing is fast moving and intriguing. The story is fantastic, characters are amazingly real considering their futuristic context. Loved this trilogy, hope to re-read someday.

A somewhat satisfying conclusion to the Sprawl trilogy. Unlike in the second installment, we're introduced to new characters that harmonize much more cohesively with the overall plot. I still feel a sort of lacking and waste of potential with the ideas that budded in the previous two stories, but I'm relieved to delve again into cyberspace and the sci-fi scenery that I loved in Neuromancer and which Gibson seemingly neglects in Count Zero.
