scotchyeti 's review for:

The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks

2.0

---

Player of Games is well written but not without flaws. The beginning is very strong with a unique setting. Once the games start, I slowly got bored. The main character Gurgeh didn't convince me, I often felt lost and didn't understand his motivations. Events that should have had an impact were simply washed aside. The game itself also had not big appeal to me so the overall impression is rather poor. There is much pontential but unfortunately not used. Or maybe it's just me.
