Recensioner

Getingfabriken av Iain Banks

Grotesk berättelse som egentligen bottnar i utanförskap och svårigheten att passa in. Bokens korta längd gör att det inte hinner rinna över åt något håll utan historien drivs framåt hela tiden. Några lösa trådar och funderingar som inte knyts ihop drar ner helhetskänslan för mig.
