James Lovegrove reviews 'Matter' for The Financial Times
February 19th, 2008 in Global, Reviews
Author James Lovegrove was suitably impressed with Matter and said so in his Financial Times review last week. He begins:
"When Iain Banks slots the middle initial between his forename and surname, you can expect science fiction on a grand scale, replete with brain-busting concepts and a dry wit..."
and concludes:
"Does Matter matter? Matter of fact, it does, and its action-propelled narrative means that any newcomer to Banks's universe could do worse than start here. The already initiated will be anything but disappointed."
