In order for Banks' sci fi to be filmed it would require a massive budget and the lack of such an astronomical budget would cause only dissapointment in my opinion. I hope unless its going to be taken on by a big studio it is'nt taken on atall
I did'nt feel the twist was bad at all. Elethiomel and Cherdenine were very similar but then under pressure in the flashback parts you see Cherdenine couldnt quite stand the pressure and Elethiomel did what it takes which is what the protagonist did unflinching through the whole book. well that...
Of the ones I've read:
1. Use of Weapons
2. The Player of Games
3. Consider Phlebas
4. Look to Windward
5. Surface Detail
6. Excession
7. Matter
I Think that's them all
Personally ive only been reading his Sci-FI and aslong as theres more to read ill be sticking to that but Ill be reading his Mainstream titles after that. So far reading the Sci Fi has been thoroughly enjoyable
Re: Surface Detail
This book came out just in time. Was coming to the end of the culture series, the abominator class ship in this book was a fantastic element in the story. I love when you get to take a look at the cultures offensive capabilities
Thought this was a great look into other aspects of the culture. A very interesting way of bringing in a non-warrior character into special circumstances
