A review by scribal
Spook Country by William Gibson

4.0

On one level I liked this better than Pattern Recognition because I really really enjoyed the Cuban Mongolians and it has a satisfying ending. Also I think it has a better "shape" than Pattern Recognition--which I felt drifted off into an odd and annoying ending. On the other hand Pattern drew me into the author's created land completely from the very first pages. Spook's beginning is harder to get into and it seems lighter, as if Gibson wasn't quite that engaged himself.
