I read it when it came out, but I seem to have forgotten most of it. I
remember slogging through long descriptive passages wondering when the
action would start, and when it finally did (at the very end) the ending did
not seem worth the trouble. I think the only recent Banks book I liked was
"The Algebraist", lots of action, a nice mystery, and a great ending.

I hope Anathem turns out to be better than the Baroque books, which I did
not like. So far, it is slow going, but some have said things get better after
the first 200 pages.
