You know what I want? Simpler worlds with more character development. This book wasn't it.

I'd picked up Consider Phlebas because I keep hearing about Bank's "Culture" novels, and so I thought I'd start at the beginning. Yawn. This is all plot, characters I don't care about, and a vaguely interesting galactic civilization that might be interesting if it was accessed in a different way.

3 of 5 stars.
