Spook Country Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: I'd recommend it, particularly if you like Gibson.
Comment: Gibson doesn't need any advertisement or introduction from me. I had been fairly disappointed by Pattern Recognition and picked up Spook Country with some trepidation. As usual, Gibson is a dab hand at near-future sci fi and I really enjoy the worlds that he creates and the themes that he develops. I entertained myself very happily just submerging myself in the prose. As far as the plot goes, I kind of had the feeling that this is a better worked-out version of some of the ideas that he was playing with in Pattern Recognition. The unfolding secrets of this book are somehow much more realistic and compelling.

I'd recommend it. Perhaps not as good as the best of his books, but that is surely allowed.

Summary: Spook Country
Comment: All of Bill Gibson's work is well written. This book is not his best, but it sure is readable.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Gibson has sold out... or has he?
Comment: IS Gibson selling out to APC and iPod? Or is he playing their game and exposing it to the reader?

Beside that... it is a very good representation of actual spy transfers

Customer Rating:
Summary: Still good
Comment: After reading the reviews here i was somewhat dismayed. Could all that nattering point to *exactly* what Gibson prefers to sidestep? His stories are fun. No they aren't thrillers and they aren't violent, they are wonderfully written imaginative stories with gentle, optimistic endings - have all you nabobs fallen into the pit our culture has dug ("if it isn't nasty, violent and edgy - it ain't good")?

Summary: so real...
Comment: So real after these last money melting weeks.
A must read to get away from it all.
