  <default_description>Into the cyber-hip world of William Gibson comes Mona, a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is on a collision course with internationally famous Sense/Net star Angie Mitchell.  Since childhood, Angie has been able to  tap into cyberspace without a computer.  Now, from inside cyberspace, a kidnapping plot is masterminded by a phantom entity who has plans for Mona, Angie, and all humanity, plans that cannot be controlled...or even known.  And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yakuza, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes. &lt;P&gt; An over-the-top thrill ride sequel to  &lt;i&gt;Neuromancer&lt;/i&gt; and  &lt;i&gt;Count Zero&lt;/i&gt;.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Mona Lisa Overdrive is the third book in Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, and it's the most fully-realized of the three. The plots of Neuromancer and Count Zero followed the same pattern, and Count Zero really only served as a bridge between the first and third books.

    <body><![CDATA[While the first book of this trilogy was phenomenal, the second and third left me a bit flat.  They're still good books, but they suffer from Sequel Syndrome IMO.  <br/><br/>--spoilers!--<br/><br/><br/>Still worth reading, great story altogether, but I was disappointed they didn't really pick u...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59639868">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The final volume in The Sprawl Trilogy, Mona Lisa Overdrive exposes some of the seedier elements in Gibson's vision of the future.  The book follows yet another donw-on-her luck heroine, the title character Mona.  She is bought from her pimp/boyfriend in the Sprawl, then is kidnapped numerous times ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11885670">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I always find Gibson engrossing and this book was no exception. The ending lacked some coherence, the Japanese stuff was generally laughable, but overall the world and the people in it were well worth the read. (And you have to give the man credit for attempting to balance so many perspectives.)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Same problems as Neuromancer.  Loved the world, okay story, hate the ending.  Read my review of Neuromancer and apply to this one also.  One thing of note, the idea of the Internet growing into a consciousness, while unlikely, was a bit tickling to me.  Don't know why.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was interesting to read this earlier Gibson work.  Very choppy, not well woven together.  He seemd to have gotten hung up in imagery instead of ideas/plot.   Probably would've been better as a short story.  His writing definitely changed as he got older. But not necessarily in a good way. His wrt...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39035920">more...</a>]]></body>
