mcbethjb 's review for:
Use of Weapons
by Iain M. Banks
I don't like the Culture in general, and in this book it at least isn't shoved down your maw. The supposedly great secret about the protagonist's past is obvious fairly quickly. But, none of that really matters. It is a well written light space opera. The book jumps all over the place temporally without much warning beyond the chapter end, and as the book goes along the author provides the needed framework to restitch everything together. I don't regret reading it, but I'm not sure it'll be something that sticks with me.
