kessler2025 's review for:
Consider Phlebas
by Iain M. Banks
This took me longer to finish than it should have. I guess the primary reason is that I really couldn't associate myself with the characters at all. Sure it was cool to have a morally ambiguous shape shifter as the protagonist of the story but I found it hard to warm up to him until I was in the last 10-20 pages of the book. There's some pretty decent action going on in the story every now and then but its not really something to fawn over. I believe the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more and in my personal opinion, more time should have been spent on the main story/quest regarding the Culture/Idiran war. The side stories don't add up to the main story at the end of the day.
