  “A very lyrical novel for Banks, this one deals with a forced intensity of 'psycholoy' with the effects of war and the breakdown of society on the protagonist - a self determined experientialist. Lots of self-aware silent reveries with the usual fascination for constructing elaborately symbolic grotesqueries. Which is in many ways what you want from Banks. The whole thing has the feel of classicism invading on a nuclear holocaust trip with mixed results. Intriguing and always compelling enough that you don't wonder "should I bother to finish this?" but not his best.”

  “An incredibly gorgeous and cruel tale of sibling love,, the sexual kind.
  Slightly disturbing that this is my second book with an incest theme....”
