lmcj@bookwyrm.social reviewed Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks (Culture, #1)
Enjoyable despite what most people say
3 stars
Started reading this very cautiously because everyone says that this is not a representative book of the Culture setting and also not too good, but I did find it enjoyable. A bit sluggish at times, and sometimes it felt like a series of short stories instead of a cohesive novel, but I did like it. I am yet to start reading the player of games, and maybe I change my opinion about this one, but I was fairly entertained throughout the book.
