A review by pezski
Spook Country by William Gibson
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.5
Much better than Pattern Recognition - the constant brand commentary in that left me rather cold, perhaps I have some of Cayse's allergy to it.
Here. we have three plot threads that seem unrelated, but collide in the final fifth of the book. Gibson's terse, matter-of-fact yet observant style works well, keeping the interest throughout. I still can't quite give it a solid 5/5, but 4.5 rounded up.
I'm intrigued to see whether the final part of the trilogy brings the first two together.
