Book Reviews of Consider Phlebas
Book Review: unsettling, hilarious, dark, thrilling, etc.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent. I read it in about a week, and I never wanted to put it down. It's fast-paced, it's thrilling, and it has an excellent sense of (dark) humor. Banks does an excellent job of making you love (or hate) the characters in the book. Intelligent, a bit dark, and a lot of fun, this book is one of my favorites.
Summary of Consider Phlebas
"Dazzlingly original." -- Daily Mail"Gripping, touching and funny." -- TLS
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender.
Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction.
