scotchyeti 's review for:

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks
2.0

The books starts interesting but I soon lost interest. There are only hints at the Culture background, it hasn't been filled with substance and life though. What remains is an action packed adventure with an unusal hero and some interesting characters. I am not a huge fan of such stories and rather waited for some mind blowing SF ideas - they didn't come so the book left me unimpressed.

I recommend to skip this book and to read [b:The Player of Games|18630|The Player of Games|Iain M. Banks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166984450s/18630.jpg|1494157] or [b:Use of Weapons|12007|Use of Weapons|Iain M. Banks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166490846s/12007.jpg|1494156] instead.
