A review by jmoses
The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks
3.0
Although this book was indeed about Culture, it wasn't quite what i wanted. Sure, it was a good, entertaining read. It just wasn't what I was hoping for, and it was too short, more a novella. I'm still holding out for a epic about the Culture.
-edit-
Ah, i see it was actually a novella. I still wish it had been longer.

Also, for whatever reason, I couldn't get Scalzi's "The Sagan Diary" out of my head. It's not that they're really very similar (although both feature a strong female main character), I think it's just that both are short, semi-memoir style (in theory authored *by* the main character). Am I the only crazy one that feels that way?
