The Wasp Factory: A Novel

Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant, the reason I can only give it one star is that I can't honestly say "I loved it". It was waaay too disturbing for that...

Well done, but tough. Take the odd characters from John Irving, make life brutal like in McCarthy or Oe, and put it all in England. Fair warning.

by far the best book i've ever read.

The Wasp Factory is truly one of the most amzing books I have ever read... to the point I revisit it almost yearly. No a nice book by any means, but a stunning story of deception and murder.
