Bedlam

Another re-read (chosen as it was the “if you enjoyed ... look out for ...” at the end of The Atrocity Files).

I didn't remember anything really from my previous read, which probably reflects negatively on the author (sorry Brookmyre, I love your work, honest). However, I thoroughly enjoyed it and my forgetfulness meant the plot twists were ably to creep up and surprise me as intended.

Love, love, love the swearing! It's a matter of pride that us Scots have the ability to be so inventive and cutthroat with our vocabulary. Who would have thought there were so many different words for testicles?

Definitely worth a read for anyone who like Sci-Fi and/or gaming. An inventive plot and down-to-earth details that meld beautifully


On a sidenote, if I continued my reading progress as recommended by the “if you enjoyed ... look out for ...” bit at the end of the novel I would find myself marching along a Mobius strip. The recommended read was The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross!
