Consider Phlebas (Culture, #1)
by Iain M. Banks
by Iain M. Banks
I read this after reddit's scifi book survey results.
And by favorites. I didn't expect The Culture Series to score so high, or be so loved. After the first few hundred pages though, I can see the appeal.
The writing style's great, and the whole story is cinematic. The reason I didn't give it more stars is that the main characters are, well, not exactly likable or clever. The story sets up the universe for the rest of the saga. I wish it had been written from another perspective.
