I picked up 'Terminal World' by Alastair Reynolds in a charismatic shop a while back and gave it a go. A few good ideas and scenes, but generally was quite underwhelmed. Have just started 'Revelation Space' on the Kindle (don't like kindle reading, but it's so much easier for me at the moment for various reasons) and it's interesting to see how his style and approach clicks so much better in a full-on space opera setting. It's satisfyingly absorbing and immersive after a few chapters, where Terminal world promised lots but never really got its claws into me.
Edit: I mean 'charity' shop, but I think I like the typo better!
