Iain M. Banks: Bedenke Phlebas. (Paperback, German language, 2002, Heyne)

Review of 'Bedenke Phlebas.' on 'Goodreads'

100% agree with the critiques re: editing. Once you start to notice the repetition, it gets hard to ignore.

Despite that, it's quite a fun romp and the activities largely move along at a reasonable enough pace to keep things interesting.

Did end up feeling like it was all sort of pointless, though. Like, there's no real hero/villain/wider-progress and nothing is achieved for anyone involved, bar dying. I suppose that's some message about war?
