Anyone read this?

My teacher says it's the best book ever written but I haven't read it and I want to know how hard she's trollin.

What are your thoughts on it?

Iain M. Banks is better.

I've read it. It's a fine novel, but it's certainly not the best book ever written. It's not even the best book written by Banks.

Good book but the bbc series is better

I haven't read it, but Banks is a good enough writer that most of his books could be considered "the best ever" if someone were wearing some heavy duty nostalgia goggles or inclined to hyperbole.

College lit professors usually have either terrible taste or pick the most obscure shit in order to impress people. The students who believe their professor in every single little thing are worse.
