Bought the series about a month ago after reading the first couple book (consider phlebas, player of games, use of weapons). Just finished reading Excession, which was the best yet in my opinion. (I love those neural leashes, practical telepathy haha, or the sleeper service going fubar :O ).
There´s one thing that annoys me a bit though, his writing style seems to form a sort of jigsaw tensionpattern (sort of like nowadays television). Basically once a particular scene gets really interesting he cuts it off. annoooooying.
Back to excession I loved how those MINDS at the excession chatted with another, you know, when the elench wanted to drop another drone into it within 2secs. They debated intensely - for what would be several long minutes to us - and cancelled the procedure in a few millisecs haha!
