The Wasp Factory

The Wasp Factory Critical Evaluation “The Wasp Factory” by “Iain Banks” is the book I chose to evaluate on. I will be studying the characterisation, setting, and the theme of this book. The book is written in the 1st person and is an unconventional and bizarre story. The plot is about a boy called “Frank,” his weird life and his weird family. He has a dad who knows the measurements of every thing in the …

…and eating dogs. Frank killing the whole rabbit colony also conveys the theme of death. I enjoyed “the Wasp Factory” by “Iain Banks,” mainly because of the characterisation because the characters were so original and different; also the book was not withdrawn in its details of death and brutality, which made it far more interesting to read. Overall I think this is a very well written book but is definitely not for the faint hearted.
