lbonitz 's review for:

The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

In the end, this was a fun read and I was happy to have read it. The world building was really cool and unique. The main character was basically a cardboard robot and I feel like I kept hoping for a deeper/subtler message than just socialism is good, capitalism is bad. But I did have fun, especially in the last 100 pages.
