I've attempted Iain M. Banks before - "Consider Phlebas," which is part of his sci-fi "Culture" series - but was never able to get very far into it. So I didn't think I'd like him very much with the M. taken out, but I was wrong. In fact, I liked the book enough that I don't really want to read anything else of his because I'm afraid it will all turn out to be crap and disappoint me. Stupid, but there it is.
Really, this book is hilarious in a way that only a book about a 16-year-old serial killer can be. Highly recommended to anyone who likes Gothic tales, ladies kept in attic, and gun wankery. Love the "happy ending," as well.
