   [Scion] to All   
   Gibson's recognizable pattern

   ...is it just me, or was Pattern Recognition completely overrated? I   
   found the story to bea rehash of Marly's viewpoint from Count Zero,   
   filtered backwards through the Bridge Trilogy to the present day; and I   
   wasn't too impressed by Gibson's abandonment of his trademarked   
   character-viewpoint juggling. Too many loose ends were wrapped up, not   
   enough left up to the reader.   
      
   Anyone else think the same?
