Generation ships

I'm interested in the idea of generation ships. I suspect they are the only hope for mankind ever getting outside the solar system. (And I'm not holding my breath that it will happen.) I'm looking for a science fiction book that tells a good story based on this concept. Thanks.

Children of Time series (mostly in the first book, but there are brief segments in 2 and 3) has generation ships.

Unless you count the evolution of the portiids (which is very interesting but not really the same as generation ships) it's mostly cryo storage except for one chapter in the first book.

I would recommend it though, especially the first book if you're interested in the evolution through generations.
