Certainly not as good as Pattern Recognition, but decent enough, I guess. I think
Pattern Recognition was Gibson's best novel since the Sprawl Trilogy, whereas Spook
Country was more standard fare. One of the great things about Pattern Recognition
was that Gibson limited himself to a single protagonist/p.o.v. In Spook Country
he returned to his old technique of cross-cutting between several characters.
 
Pattern Recognition, btw, has attracted quite a bit of critical attention since its
publication - fully deserved, IMO.
