Look to Windward - Iain M. Banks
Whacked story or 'space opera.' Many parts of
this were really fun - but it took me months to read this, piece by
piece.
Page 335 is where this got really interesting.
The last 80 pages, or so, were quite good. Up until then, I just wasn't
compelled. Although, there's cool stuff throughout about sublime worlds and the
Culture... it's worth the read, but great it isn't. I cannot say that I'll be
running to read a lot more Banks, mystery or
otherwise.
Okay - the huge space going
critters and the Minds, as well as the orbitals, were all really cool
concepts... there's actually a lot to like about this book.
