A review by bimblinghill
The Business by Iain Banks

4.0

Another rather uneven novel from Banks, with enough qualities to earn 4 stars.
These qualities include a beautiful evocation of Thulaan, a Bhutan-like Himalayan kingdom and its dorky and well-meaning new ruler. There's also a clutch of other quirky characters and memorable scenes. Underneath is Banks' usual blend of cynicism and morality.

Spoiler

...I was left a bit disappointed that the titular 'business' was built up so extravagantly at the beginning, but not fully explored.
