The Business

the businessWhile I liked it, it wasn't really what I expected. It was sort of Banks Light, it lacked the mindboggling feeling of this is really good. What I found interesting was the Business itself. Unfortunatly that is more used as a backdrop instead of being the centre. It was as if he was using the Culture template which didn't work that well here. Fans will probably enjoy it but new readers should look for Espadair Street or Walking on Glass.
