A review by dankeohane
Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks

3.0

Very well written, with amazing world building culled from an amazing imagination. One would think that with the plot jumping from one bizarre situation to another, the book would race along, but in truth, it felt like 17 distinct novels pushed into one, like an overpacked suitcase. I found myself mentally exhausted at the halfway point. Some day, I may pick up the threads where I left off. There are probably five or six more plots left, but for now.... still, again, great writing and wonderful world building. Just too much of it. Lol
