I'm one of those people who was blown away by Use of Weapons, so much so that I basically had to physically stop reading for a couple of days to recover.

I just finished Use of Weapons, I really didn't like Zakalwe compared to some of Banks' other characters, but I realized that that just made the book that much better. Once he ties the knot on all the recurring images it really pulls the book together magnificently.

e: It still hasn't overtaken Consider Phlebas as my favorite book of his (the characters in that, especially the realistically dynamic attributes of their personalities were incredible) but I've got a lot of reading yet to do before I finish the Culture series.
