A review by stephibabes
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

5.0

I have a bizarre ability to completely forget the content of a book or film (to the point where it took me half way through my second watching of The Departed to loudly annouce "I've seen this! It's really good!" rather annoyingly). Obviously some things stay with me more than others. All I could remember about The Wasp Factory was that is was one of the most compelling, horrifying and brilliant books I had ever read and considered it one of my all time favourites. In re-reading it I have felt all that again. It is deeply disturbing, but brilliant. Utterly brilliant. If you like this book, then we can be friends.
