A review by minsies
The Steep Approach to Garbadale by Iain Banks
3.0
(Dug review out of the depths of LiveJournal.)
Anyway, this is the only book by Banks that I've liked other than Player of Games.
It's well-crafted (with the exception of the recipe in the middle). Not much else to say, other than the fact that he seems to write best when he's not trying to cover huge grey areas in as few words as possible or putting in stomach-twisting things just for the shock value. Which is as it should be, but it definitely isn't true of all the books of his that I've read.
