I finished Excession, but was really disappointed in it. It's the weak spot in the Culture novels, I think. The three SF novels since then have gotten successively better.

Maybe I'll skip it and go on to something else. Anansi Boys is next in the heap :-)

I'd agree on the first two sf novels since Excession, but the Algebraist really didn't work for me at all. The villain seemed like a cardboard cutout of a Banks' villain, and the answer to the, "where are the wormholes," question would have worked much better if the obvious problem with it had at least been acknowledged.

Curious. Excession is one of my favourite Culture novels; there's no accounting, &c... :)
