I thought the story itself was pretty cool, and I might try and pick it up again sometime. But to me, this book is miles below the other two I read. I didn't care about the characters at all.
I do actually agree with you that Player Piano is written in a different style from his other books. Since it was his first I always view this as a case of him not having found his voice yet. I still thought it was a good book though, albeit far from his best.
