A review by ems_99
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

dark tense slow-paced

3.75

I really enjoy books that are dark and sinister and this book is definitely those things but it is almost too visceral for me, it was so well written but to be placed in the mind of a psychopath was quite heavy at times and he was so cruel with a twisted almost chaotic madness that it left me quite confused at some of the plot points.  It also felt much longer to read than it actually was. 

The end did allow me to feel sympathy for him though as he become a victim of sorts in someone else’s cruel game.
