Great book

It probably would have done me good to know the actual meaning of Complicity before starting the book (or indeed finishing it), but knowing it now makes sense. The "you" and "I" narrative is definately interesting and works well here, but I don't think I'd be able to put up with it all the time in books. The long sentences used to characterise Cameron were another example of this.

I enjoy Iain Banks' writing style because he always leads the reader one way only to surprise us and take another path altogether. I had made up my own mind on what was going on half way in and Banks even suggested it himself after a while, and this made me all the more surprised when I continued with the story. He handles his subjects well and makes even the most shocking twists fit perfectly with allusions and flashbacks.

I have to admit that I like Scottish books because I find that having the location within a couple of hours road/train travel makes it all the more interesting (although I can't really remember ever visiting Edinburgh before).
