5.0 out of 5 stars Forgot how great this is., March 12, 2007

By	Kavity Killer (denver, colorado United States) - See all my reviews

I read this about six years ago in dental school. Since then have read a great deal of Sci Fi- some good some mediocre. I picked this up again the other day, and man does this guy rock. He writes sf with a depth of imagination and seriousness of purpose that you won't find anywhere else. This is going to sound sweeping, but many sf writers are just a joke compared to Banks. I told my wife that reading Banks is like listening to Jimi Hendrix play guitar. No understatement.

So if you like sf, give this a try. Its one of the only Banks books you can get in the US. Its cheap, its long, its filled with mind blowing writing. Just trust me on this.
