Mona Lisa Overdrive

Beautiful madness.

Pocket version, fair quality.

Excellent, on par with Neuromancer and Count Zero

Ero curiosa di leggerlo in lingua originale in quanto grande appassionata di questo autore e di questo libro in particolare. Non è sempre scorrevole, alcuni pezzi li ho trovati un po' ostici per i termini usati. Consiglio la lettura se lo avete letto anche in italiano

If you're a Cyberpunk fan and can follow Gibson's way of writing (which isn't hard as people make it seem like) then you're in for a fun ride. How all the characters come together when they seemed irrelevant to each other at first is brilliant(on par with it's predecessor Count Zero which is also excellent). Mona Lisa overdrive is dense as F. There's a lot to take in(which you'll get used to if you've read Gibson's other works), the story is grounded, provides enough spotlight to every characters and the pacing is good. Gibson's description of every scenario, location and character traits is more than enough to let the images form in the reader's mind which is necessary to get immersed into the book. The quality of the book i received from the publisher is good and solid. No dents, torn pages, bleeding inks whatsoever but i prefer the quality of penguin's hardcover edition of Neuromancer anyday.
