A HALF_RESOLUTION OF MOLLY'S FATE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mona Lisa Overdrive (Paperback)
BY the time I read this one I had read Neuromancer. By now I was used to the jargon-ridden, erotic, chic and mysterious narrative. The Neuromancer finale had left me asking for more as far as the character of Molly and her relationship with Case were concerned. Molly, being the futuristic, sexy, bionically enhanced, "razor-girl" assassin who was also referred to as a "street samurai". Although there was a resolution to an extent, I was left deeply unsatisfied because she the most fascinating character in the Sprawl series. I was deeply affected by the very last sentence of Neuromancer and this is what made me read Mona Lisa. Excellent cberpunk, very Bladerunner. I could also argue that Molly is the inspiration of many superheroines today. Superheroines of the type Trinity (the Matrix), Nikita (La Femme Nikita) and probably many others. Superb effort...I can only hope for another which follows Molly's charcter development even further. Her reappearance in Mona Lisa was quite a surprise too.
