Good Advice, I guess
I was so close to loving this book when I first opened it. However, this ended after I got to page three, while this is advertised as a book of celtic wisdom I found instead the multiple turns back to christianity. Specifically the author's own views towards christianity. While I believed that I was finding a book about Celtic wisdom, history, and culture; I found instead a story of a christian missionary who had done some research and was putting together a past look at what wisdom could be drawn from the Celtic culture. The wisdom is beautifully written but if you're looking for a book specifically about Celtic culture, history, beliefs or anything of the sort this is not the book for you.

Meh! It's ok, not up to his usual very high standard
It suffers because you have such high expectations if you've read other Culture Novels. It's ok though, but just ok.

Not a great book to film translation, but as a standalone look at VR and retro gaming it ticks many boxes, just don't read the book first!
