Bill H. (simonsaysrebel) reviewed A welcome novel, but not as good as it could have been. on 2/2/2009 + 7 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

I felt that, while this is better even than much of what had made Gibson famous, it fell short of expectations. I adored Pattern Recognition, and expected this to stand up as well. It was not bad by any means, but I felt Gibson lost in this title his customary edginess and velocity. Hope to see it return, and I most definitely will not wait for paperback for whatever he next writes!
