A Song of Stone by Iain Banks
4.0
Banks is often best when brutish, and this is a truly despondent, despairing, brutal book. Better than the credit it's getting here but admittedly not everyone.
It's at times abstract and philosophical and the narrator is far from likeable. Yet, its a gripping, poetic portrayal of post-war / post-apocalyptic brutality and the breakdown of moral and societal codes.
