These Loving Eyes
Jun 6, 2009
Finished The Player of Games today and as the OP mentioned, it felt a bit too simplistic and maybe even lacklustre. I couldn't help myself from interpreting the whole portrayal of the Azadian culture as a half-assed social commentary on Western governments and corrupted power structures (even though he probably didn't intend that). While I did enjoy the book, I wish there had been more to it. The plot followed its neat straight path and the ending felt anticlimatic.

Anyways, I'd love to check out his other Culture novels. Which one would you guys recommend reading next?
