Review title: Long, slow and disappointing
Product review: This the first book by Ian Banks that I've read, and I don't understand the praise it has received. It's very slow and very little happens; it's not really even about the Excession, its about a messed up romance. This could have made an interesting short story if you cut out all the relationship garbage. If you want good sci-fi, try Peter F. Hamilton or Vernor Vinge.
