Use of Weapons - Bulmer's Bookshelf

[@TheCaptainRaccoon]

I really love the style of this video, how it is chopped up and presented in a manner similar to the book you're describing. The intro in the end of the video was a great artistic idea.

[@davidjoel3155]

I chucked quietly at this too, love how he used the style of the book in his review video 👏

[@z-beeblebrox]

heheh brilliant :D You laughing about the uncomfortable park bench at the "start" suddenly makes so much sense!

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Oh, wait till you read the book. Then it'll make a lot more.

[@captaindom2000]

I figured out what was happening during the middle when you began talking about two timelines that don't seem to be conected. Very clever. I applaude you Dave.

[@cygnetseven]

My favorite book reviews of one of my favorite authors. Well done!

[@jigurd]

I came here via "The theme to the dark world". Since then I have seen you collab with Brentalfloss, perform a really funny Donkey Kong song, and now I am off to my local library. Thank you for giving me something to read! :)

[@TheFreakDownStreet]

I don't know why, but there is something just hypnotic about these videos.

[@darkfhang]

And not just this one. Most of his other videos! It's rather soothing. Sort of like watching Bob Ross paint.

[@SloppyCat79]

God, I'm coming back to this review after a year and it's just bloody fantastic.

[@scallycapgamer2996]

I had never read or even heard about Iain M. Banks' books but after seeing this video I feel extremely compelled to. Thanks for showing us these cool books and your opinions on them!

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

Such a fantastic video ! Although you are clearly explaining how this book is structured, it didnt automatically click with me, that the video was also cut in a similar fashion at first. Simply brilliant ! And it sorta plays with the "first impression", as you are given a specific peace of info, before you actually learn all the details surrounding it, changing your point of view in the whole process. Also, on a more personal note: Please, dont let yourself get pushed by people who cry out for more songs, or that you should do them exclusively. Bulmers Bookshelf is such a fantastic series and book "reviews" are getting rather scarce in general. Youre doing a mighty fine job and i would severely miss these videos if they had to move aside for more "by public demand" kinda stuff. Thank you so much for doing what youre doing :)

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Thanks! Don't worry, I'm unlikely to stop doing either. The songs are just complicated enough that they take me a long time to do (since I'm fitting them in between actual work), whereas I'll always be reading something and it doesn't take long to talk about it. I sympathise with them though, I'd love to have more time to work on songs. Maybe I can figure out a way to justify it, a Patreon or something like that.

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

DemonTomatoDave A Patreon would account for the time spend by writing songs, not a bad idea. Though you also have to live with people misinterpreting it as some form of eBegging. Some folks simply cant stand the fact, that their favourite KZbinrs earn money with their stuff as they think that "it cant be that hard" to make videos. I wish you all the best and hope that you will find a solution that helps you do what you want to do the most :)

[@DemonTomatoDave]

MaverickHunterXZA That's exactly it, there's a big backlash against Patreon users right now and some of us are scared to set one up - of course, that means no more songs (or whatever it is) until we have no paying work that needs to be prioritised... it's a tricky business. And in the end it comes down to haters gonna hate, so... we should probably just go ahead and do it anyway. Hmm.

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

DemonTomatoDave If you ask me, dont pay attention to those people. If they cant appreciate your work, they shouldnt be your target audience. But i know that its much easier said than done. It always hurts being accused of begging because "it worked without money beforehand" and yet, it is expected that yu pump out more and more quality content. It was the same with Brentalfloss. He has so much stuff going at the same time, that he constantly has to make vids explaining where he has been etc. Youre absolutely right in that you need a somewhat foolproof plan / time schedule to work out when and how to work on videos so that everything falls in place correctly. And yes, haters gonna hate, no matter what you do. If you do a fantastic book review, theyre going to cry out for music, if you compose a brilliant song, its the book review they want. But i think that, in fact, they appreciate whatever you put out, even though they have a rather "unique" way of saying it. Because wanting more is a sign that what you make is good stuff ;) It all comes down to "Do YOUR thing". Its your thing that people love and for what they came here in the first place.

[@RedTriangle53]

Slight spoiler alert. After first watching this review I had the book in the back of my mind for a while, and now I've finally read it. You mention that you're not as clever as Iain Banks, but revisiting this video, I'll have to disagree at least a bit. The ways you have made your story/review around the book be analagous to the actual book are really intelligent. Always the chair.. I love how the book tricks you into misjudging Zakalwe by using the leaps in time, forcing you to reevaluate him throughout the entire book. Each of his reactions mean something different a few chapters ahead than they do when you read them. So thanks for introducing me to this book. I won't take any future reviews on your channel lightly.

[@johnliungman1333]

[@Snowy123]

You just made me appreciate use of weapons 10 times more

[@brucebaxter6923]

use of weapons is great from the human side, and excession is great from the machine side. especially a battle described in machine time

[@MokugPlaysGames]

This series sounds fantastic! It sounds very similar to one of my very favorite sci-fi book series that starts with "The January Dancer" by Michael Flynn. There is one character that is present all throughout the events in the first book without the reader actually realizing the character is there. This character becomes instrumental in the events of the third and fourth books to the point that I count this character as a main character.

[@SnowDemonAkuma]

This. This is the video that reminded me to add you to my adblock whitelist. It was that good.

[@mhug162]

[@ButterflyisNabi]

This video's pay off was great and a touch moving to be honest. Nice work. Another author to add to my new wishlist as Bulmers Bookshelf starts to rekindle my old reading addiction.

[@Crabmaster]

As the video went on I was like "Aaaaah! He is doing the thing!" And right at the end you did the thing and it was like "And if he can set this up and still say he isn't as clever as the writer, that guy must have made one heck of a good book!".

[@Felgroove]

That was amazing! Great video.

Thanks for replying! :)

[@NextGenVixen]

That was great, I caught on to what you were doing midway through the video, while at first I was confused. Plus we got two videos from you pretty much in one go, which is awesome ^^ I've never actually heard of Iain M. Banks before but your video has really mae me want to check him out, should I start with Use of Weapons first?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

If you think you can handle it! It's a complex one this video only gives you a taste of it. Honestly, I'd start with Player Of Games, just because it's an immediately enjoyable sci-fi story that gets you excited about Banks' world. Use of Weapons kind of assumes that world, and sits it on the back seat to focus very closely on the characters, which of course is good for this book, but it's less likely to get you hooked on the series' setting. And of course a lot less penetrable.

[@NextGenVixen]

Okay, great ^^ I'll check out Player of Games first then, thank you (:

[@jonesthemoblin1400]

NextGenVixen I was only sort of paying attention to this video when watching it and in the back of my mind was wondering why you are telling this secondary story that seemed so unrelated to the book you were talking about until I remembered you talking about how the book was structured. Then I hit myself in this forehead, went down to the comments and posted this. Either way, I need to drop by this channel more often. I am always on the look out for a good book to read.

[@MorselBunter]

I have read and enjoyed "Consider Phlebas". I own "Look to Windward". Should I read it, or should I be reading them in the order in which they were published?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

I think you can read it. When I was researching a bit (to try and understand more about this book once I'd finished it), I saw a lot of fans of the series saying that you shouldn't start with Phlebas (oops!) because it's not the most penetrable Culture novel, but once you HAVE read it, you can go straight to Look To Windward because it's a sort-of sequel. Who said this or whether they're trustworthy or even sentient is unknown.

[@Cetadrius01]

very cool video, well done sir. do you plan on doing other sci-fi authors?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Definitely.

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

That was really cool to watch just in the way it was filmed and presented, let alone how interesting the book sounded. I actually think it would be really cool if between the long stints of songs you kept giving impressions of books. I hesitate to call them reviews as they don't feel quite the same and I kind if like the idea of just getting the impression instead.

[@n0dltr0n]

This is a brilliant review. I'll definitely check out this series. I've been looking for more sci fi stuff to read.

[@carlosfandango2419]

Wow, you mentioned the Traffic Centre, not a great place, really. However Use of Weapons is an amazing novel. Zakalwe knows his war. He's also not scared of using this knowledge on behalf of The Culture because they have forgotten/never had this information. They are or have never been fighters! Fighting is in Zakalwe's blood however, it always has been. He has a history, he wants to be forgiven for some of his past but can he earn this forgiveness? A glorious novel moving forward in time exploring Zakalwe's latest mission for The Culture whilst also delving into the past and what made him the soldier that he is.

[@1nva0er55]

The Culture is not at all a stranger to war. What they are is too good at it. They are too powerful, too pragmatic. They can just blow up planets or drown solar systems in black hole bombs. They fight wars in nanoseconds. They are an absolute unstoppable force. And that is not always applicable. You can't be a force of good if you solve any disagreement with apocalyptic levels of destruction. More often than not you need manipulation, subterfuge, quiet if effective ways to win wars or simply avoid it. Zakalwe is that turned to eleven. The guy is so good at obtuse thinking he can not only avoid wars, he can somehow win unwinnable ones. He's a literal microsurgeon, and it's always better to use that than nuke the city.

[@IanHollis]

Gonna do one for the novelization of Star Wars Episode III??

[@GoodOlTimesOnlyGayer]

Love the video. Zakalwe also appears at the end of another book, where you do not realise he was a character.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Sean K Oh cool!

[@GoodOlTimesOnlyGayer]

In fact he appears in two other books. I had completely missed the second one. I hope since 2014, you have read a few more of Mr Bank's books. I also hope you now have a great career and some money. Having a crappy job really brings you down - as does the UK weather as I remember many years later from sunny Sydney. Keep up the great vids.

[@brucebaxter6923]

[@Solidfact42]

I have had Iain M Banks recommended to me by several people all of whom suggest I read Consider Plebus after one or more of the following Culture series. Having been gifted the whole set recently, I was about to start Player of Games but after watching this video review I'm unsure if this is the wisest course. Any advice would be thankfully received.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

No, I think that's actually the perfect place to start. Player of Games is the one I've had the most fun reading, and as far as I remember it's standalone in terms of characters and events. And it's not too long. Do it!

[@jonathancook8343]

Who is this guy, he's fucken hilarious. I've laughed three times in as many minutes, and he gets this novel - Use Of Weapons is Banks' greatest achievement. I only just recently twigged that the character calling himself Zakalwe Cheradinine throughout the first half of the book, is not Zakalwe at all. It's the scar over his heart that gave it away ;)

[@judedeath473]

Did I miss the explanation of the series title? Also I'm enjoying these book videos, I don't read as much actual prose books as I used to(mainly comics and fantiction these days) but these always motivate me to at least try reading an actual book.

You mean the Culture? That's the name of the huge-scale civilisation that... well I was about to say it's the setting of the books, but that isn't quite right. They're just sort of there, pulling strings, in some of the books, and in other books... well, the focus changes and... it's hard to explain :D

[@myoldchannel0690]

... ...isn't this a guy I saw on a Brentalfloss video?

[@Lizarius]

This was...perplexing. Not so much the video or the points you made or the stories you told. More to do with how I feel about the video itself. It's a fascinating approach to it, kind of confusing until the pieces came together. I realized early-ish what you were doing and why, but it very much felt initially like it would make me thoroughly hate the book itself if it followed that pattern. A certain amount of bitterness lingered through the video and is still present now, but I can't really say just how justified it is. I have no idea if I like this idea. None at all.

[@Lizarius]

Which, in hindsight, sounds an awful lot like negative criticism. I discourage you from taking it that way. However, I also discourage you from taking it as positive criticism as well. Please, come join me in my pit of perplexing opinions, because seriously. idkwtf

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Haha, actually I think I know what you mean. The book gave me a similar uneasy feeling up until the end, where it all suddenly makes sense, and my video doesn't have that big finish. But yeah, there's this dark feeling reading the book that you are being kept out of the loop, and I did need to look up a couple of online discussions to really understand it (or read the book again, that would've done it as well, but who has time for that). Yeah. Don't worry, I definitely don't take offence to that comment :)

[@Lizarius]

In that case, and with more thought on the matter away from the weird sensations, I think it would actually be positive feedback, because you seemed to have rather effectively nailed what you were going for. Maybe you aren't as clever as Iain was, but you're clever enough to pull off similar stunts.

[@Gnug215]

Ah yes. That damn chair. Personally - and forgive me - I hated Use of Weapons. Yes, yes, yes... I was probably (certainly) not clever enough for it, and I'm sure I'd have a completely different experience reading it a second time, but... I dislike it too much to read it again. The characters just didn't interest me. Not even in retrospective reflection. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more it annoyed me. I really didn't feel the story was going anywhere. Not even with the twist at the end, which to me seemed pointless and forced. It was almost Shayamalanesque in the worst way. (And yes, I got to use an "-esque" word! Suck it!!) In fact - and forgive me again - it was a bit like your review. A purposely convoluted mess whose convolutedness didn't seem to have much of a purpose. (In all honesty, I did enjoy your review - and much more so than reading UoW, because at least I could relate and empathise with your "side stories".) I enjoyed PoG a LOT more, and same for Excession, which I'm currently on the last pages of. I enjoyed CP more than UoW, but that was also a bit messy. In fact (and this may give you a sense of what kind of person/reader I am), what I enjoyed the most about CP was actually the epilogue, where you got the post-war accounts of events. Anyway. Good video. Enjoyable to watch.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

You're forgiven! Sounds like you had the experience with Use of Weapons that I had with Consider Phlebas. We're on exactly the same page with Player of Games though, I definitely enjoyed it far more than this one.

It almost seemed like you got a hold of the same tri-pack of books that I got, but I believe you in your (convoluted, hah!) story said that you got the books individually.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

@@Gnug215 haha, no it's a total coincidence -- although I did get Phlebas because it was the first one, and the other two because they seemed to be the most popular at the time, so maybe that's how they chose what to put in your pack. I haven't read Excession, no.

[@Gnug215]

@@DemonTomatoDave Alright. :) Well, I certainly can recommend Excession (even though I'm not quite finished, and the resolution might, of course, possibly piss me off.) I feel it's the most... Culture-y book of the bunch, really. CB is a pretty good introduction to the Culture (both the series and the Culture culture itself), and PoG gives you a good sense of how the Culture compares itself to other cultures - and what it does about/to them. UoW to me is "just" about two people. To me there's very little Culture about them. Excession is VERY Culture. There's a switch between characters and storylines in the various chapters, but all of them offer some insight into Culture culture. The chapters with the people offer a lot of info about their Culture life. Then there's the chapters with the Minds/Ships, and there's a LOT of those. Whole sections of Minds/Ships having long conversations. It's really well done and super interesting, IMO. But like I said before, I'm the kind of person who found the epilogue of CB the most interesting in that book, so keep that in mind.
