A review by sonofachipwich
Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks

This one was wild. I really enjoy the way Banks portrays the Culture as a real actual utopia where people can live unequivocally free and wonderful lives, and which opposes injustice in the broader world in a pretty reasonable way, except that there is a dark core of manipulation and ruthlessness under it all. Twist endings don't really do much for me but I had fun anyway.
