The Wasp Factory, Book Review

So during the summer break, we were set a brief, to read and imagine a book, from a list, i chose   `The Wasp Factory`

Published in 1984 and written by Iain Banks.

Something about this book stood out to me, was an easy choice to have picked, it had been a while since I had read a book so, I dived straight in..

This will not be a spoiler review, if you have not read it, do so, it will be worth your while.

The 'Wasp Factory' of the title is a huge clock face encased in a glass box and salvaged from the local dump. Behind each of the 12 numerals is a trap which leads to a different ritual death for the wasp, the death chosen by the wasp predicts something about the future.
Set on a remote island, this is a string story of family, isolation and self torment. Its very dark subject matter, often alot to take in, but very much worth your time and attention.

Spoiler Alert
What a twist of an ending!!
