I think I would have enjoyed this book better in print vs audio and also not as my first Iain M. Banks book.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book more and more as it went on. While listening to the audio version I found myself losing focus through some of the musings and had to go back a few times as there was something in the musings with more significance. Also, I wish I would have had more of an understanding of The Culture to before starting this book.
The twist at the end I was expecting from earlier on, but made it no less enjoyable. The twist in the 'prologue' at the very end however put a new perspective on things and made the story of the MMC and his family hit harder.
