William Gibson

3.86 AVERAGE


Another solid entry in the Sprawl Trilogy. Gibson keeps you on your toes throughout the entire book, only letting you breathe for the last few chapters. Fast paced, intricate story lines weave and interweave until finally - and unexpectedly - everything comes together in an excellent conclusion. This was a very fast and very enjoyable read, can't wait to get my hands on book 3 of this trilogy and see how it all ends!

I will never forgive the person that told me you can read the sprawl books in any order. Mona Lisa Overdrive makes so much more sense after reading this.

An enjoyable read, particularly if you liked Neuromancer. Is a little hard to get into because of the slang, though William Gibson does a magnificent job of unfolding the story despite this. You do still feel lost half the time.
