A review by jefffrane
Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks

5.0

I think this would be a great introduction to Banks for someone who hasn't read any of his work. It's wildly imaginative, playful, suspenseful and messes with time and the reader's assumptions in a very Banks-y manner without being difficult. Some of Iain M. Banks' work can be very difficult indeed and I'd never suggest someone start with, oh, Feersum Endjinn unless they're very comfortable with non-linear stories and bizarre language but this, this is perfect. It's fun!
