A review by venkyloquist
Stonemouth by Iain Banks

3.0

Very few writers possess the clarity of thought as was possessed by the late Iain Banks. A clarity that is almost frightening in it's impact and visceral in it's hold. 'Stonemouth' grips the reader in clasp iron and even as the last page is turned over, leaves him gasping for more! There is a Stewart Gilmour lurking in the darkest recesses of each of us, plagued and haunted by our very own versions of a haunting Ellie Murston! Banks' untimely passing leaves the literary world much the poorer.
