Has oldershs even read the book?

It's absolutely terrrible! From where we set out to meeting the elders we know the entire body will turn to the casual "stephen-king" style of fantasy. No it holds nothing on its' own and pales against the masters of the genre. However Banks has strength in his orignality - if only he could tie it together into a cohesive story.

This really stand out in our apathy of the charecters fate!

I was left wondering whether to splah out on his further work in the filed. Surely it must get better?
