** spoiler alert ** Gibson deals in ideas and events, not characters. That distinction was a little jarring at first. Even after the novel was underway, Gibson's authorial intrusions, using characters as mouthpieces, often was annoying. Mostly, Gibson speaks through his characters to explain technical concepts and ideas, to avoid having the discussion come from his own mouth. It's a little like watching someone use hand puppets, except that instead of explaining the alphabet he's talking about locative art, war profiteering, and other nifty stuff of the digerati age. Sometimes, the characters are outright annoying, as though Gibson doesn't know what to do with them. One of the main characters is informed that she will not be allowed to leave, and she spends her time checking out two of the men. It doesn't convince. Mostly, the characters are fine, if a little worn from Gibson's hand up their bottoms and voice erupting randomly through their mouths. The characters aren't they key element of the story, although they often are interesting. Neither is the plot. Gibson lays out the plot elements, so that the reader can have some fun figuring out what will happen before it happens, and before the characters figure anything out. The style of telling - three interwoven stories from the viewpoints of three different characters - interested me. But the real fun was the journey into "spook country," a different world operating on different rules. This country is secret, and cool, even as it surely is public and horrible. It is the country of the novel, a parallel country existing in all countries. With the novel, Gibson has a lot of fun. He is commenting on paranoia, hyper-patriotism, the condition of the United States under G. W. Bush, the intersection of spying and celebrity, and the idle games of the super-rich. In the end, he acknowledges that there is little that individuals can do against the powerful and the wealthy. But he argues, through the novel, that even individuals - at least ones with a strong moral purpose, which all three of his protagonists possess - can cause a little mayhem and mischief and come out no worse for the wear.

Part history of the super hero (in comics and other mediums), part autobiography, I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in comic book super heroes. Morrison's examination of the birth of the super hero and its evolution through the decades is insightful and entertaining. His analysis of significant works and events in the history of super hero comics is thought provoking, and makes me want to go back and re-read "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns", "Watchmen", "Green Lantern/Green Arrow", "Kingdom Come", (all of which are among my favorites, I will admit) "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and even more recent stories such as "Identity Crisis", "Infinite Crisis", and "Final Crisis". This book has also piqued my interest about some other works that I haven't read in their entirety, including "All Star Superman" There was one glaring omission in my opinion, and that is the absence of discussion about "Astro City" and its role in the "re-birth" of super heroes after the dark days following "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Watchmen" and the imitators that followed. As I read Morrison's analyses of various significant works, I looked forward to his analysis of "Astro City" and it never materialized. I expect he had a good reason for not discussing it, but I still found myself somewhat disappointed. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book. In fact, it has been a little while since I'd read a book that I enjoyed this much. If you read super hero comics or are at all interested in super heroes, you should definitely read this.
