The Wasp Factory is a bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath - one of the most infamous of contemporary Scottish novels.
'Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.'
Enter - if you can bear it - the extraordinary private world of Frank, just sixteen, and unconventional, to say the least.

Re-Read. Im Endeffekt nur dazu da, um Gewalt an Tieren zu beschreiben und immer wieder zu betonen, dass Frauen minderwertige Wesen sind. Erzählstruktur ist whack und die Geschichte ist absolut nichtssagend. Es ist, kurzgesagt, einfach langweilig, unkreativ und weiß überhaupt nicht, wohin mit sich. Schreibweise war immerhin nice....

I didn’t like this book at all and it barely reached to 2 stars on the rating system I use. I only read it because I heard, it had a jaw-dropping twist but even that didn’t work for me. I would have DNFed it, if it weren’t this short and had an accessible writing style. It wasn’t for me but if you like short, “dark”, queasy books with unnecessary violence, maybe you can like this.
