More reviews, Q&A II on the way…
August 29, 2008We're just putting the finishing touches to the next Iain Banks Q&A session and are hoping to post that later today. But in the meantime, here are a few more recently-posted reviews of two Banks classics:
Hungarian webzine Ekultura has posted Bors Csaba's review of The Player of Games (the link is to an English translation). Bors concludes: "[T]he novel rocks. The plot is thick with thrills and chills, twists and turns, it grasps the reader and just won’t let go. It is an absolute page-turner."
Over at Highlander's Book Reviews, the eponymous Highlander has posted his reaction to A Song of Stone: "[it's] not a 'nice' book ... but it stands out as an example of Banks' ability to cross and mix genres and come up with something compelling, memorable and original."
Writing for the Malaysian Star newspaper, Martin Spice reviews The Steep Approach to Garbadale, saying: "[The Steep Approach to Garbadale] is a somewhat rambling and picaresque novel, but I found it gripping and its main character beguiling."
