I had a hard time staying interested in Consider Phlebas. I never engaged with any of the characters, and the events are just such an absurd mish-mash of extraordinarily bad luck and poor judgment, that I never became concerned about what was going to happen next, because, pretty much throughout, no matter what happened, I knew there was going to be some completely unlikely resolution.
I will give a try at Player of Games which several people have described as being much better. But frankly, that bar isn't set very high.
