Frank's mother abandoned them years ago: his elder brother Eric is confined to a psychiatric hospital; and his father measures out his eccentricities on an imperial scale. Frank has turned to strange acts of violence to vent his frustrations. In the bizarre daily rituals there is some solace. But when news comes of Eric's escape from the hospital Frank has to prepare the ground for his brother's inevitable return - an event that explodes the mysteries of the past and changes Frank utterly. Iain Banks' celebrated first novel is a work of extraordinary originality, imagination and horrifying compulsion: horrifying, because it enters a mind whose realities are not our own, whose values of life and death are alien to our society; and compulsive, because the humour and compassion of that mind reach out to us all.Hide synopsis

A very unique book. Dark, twisted, sentimental, funny, and suspenseful. Not for the faint of heart. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it is certainly not the sort of book you would find featured in Oprah's Bookclub.
The twist at the end regarding the true identity of one of the main characters is ...

The Wasp Factory is certainly one of the most unique books I have ever had the (perhaps somewhat dubious) pleasure to read.
A book told in the first person by Frank, an 'eccentric' teenager who spends his days torturing/killing small animals, birds and insects in numerous odd daily rituals to divine ...

This was a fascinating book. Although it may be a little too intense or disturbing for some.
Largely consumed with a twisted little bgoys need to kill small animals, mysterious family secret, murder and mayhem ensue.
Albeit in a very mellow and Brittish way, very tastefully done.
