A review by wendleness
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
5.0
I was wary of reading this book when i found out it included animal torture , but i gave it a go and i am very glad i did. I love this book.
I don't think there was a character i didn't like, which is just weird for me. But considering every character in this book islegitimately insane, or at least slightly bonkers , it does make them infinitely more likeable.
I found myself loving the main character, Frank, more and more as the book went on. There was only one thing about Frank that pissed me off(yes, despite all the animal torture and murdering) and that was the sexism . But that was satisfactorily and aptly dealt with at end, to say the least.
The conversations between Frank and Eric were my favourite parts, i think. I chuckled so much, and it really made me want everything to work out for them.
Throughout the book, i seemed to be waiting for the story to get going, and i was over halfway through before i realised it wasn't going to; that this was the story. But that was fine, because i'd hardly been able to put the book down anyway.
Instant favourite.
