I really enjoyed Neuromancer, and as soon as I finished I went out to buy this, but I'm having some trouble really getting into it.
I just finished the chapter whereCount Zero's apartment gets fucking blown up
and I think I read a bit past that.
I think the trouble I'm having is that it keeps jumping from character to character with seemingly no common theme or narrative between them.
Should I keep reading? Or should I pick up some other cyberpunk novel?

I would stick it out, can't imagine it is terribly long. I've only read Neuromancer myself, so eventually planning on reading this one. Hope it gets better.

One simply does not skip the middle book in a trilogy. I think the Count and Angie chapters are essential to navigating Mona Lisa Overdrive. It all ties together in the end.
Also m8 pay attention to the voodoo shit. I won't even be surprised if we see nods to it in the live-action GiTS.
Let's all just hope Josef Virek isn't Trump fourty years from now, still amassing wealth to a body that he doesn't even have any more.

I didn't finish Count Zero either, but if it's anything like the rest of Gibson's books, they all do that, and you get them coming together when some plot point cues the beginning of the climax. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes not.
I think you're still within the first 50 pages, which is no point to call the book.
it gets more enjoyable once you get further and are able to actually follow the different storylines instead of getting confused

Bruce Sterling is much brighter in this area than Billie G
