A review by serinde4books
Stonemouth by Iain Banks

2.0

So this book is full of a lot of ambiguity regarding whatever the event was. I felt like we didn’t move far. I want to know what is going on though. I don't care for time jumps and this book was particularly jarring for me. I don’t like the flipping between past and present in the same chapter. It’s confusing to follow. We would flip in the same chapter an I wouldn't realized ht time period had changed at first.
It’s slow and most of the action is in memories of the past. I was expecting more. It felt like it took forever to get the story really moving.
Overall this was an ok book, I had hoped it would be a little more fast paced.
