Satya's blog - Feersum Endjinn

I've been meaning to post this:

I couldn't get through Iain M. Banks' Feersum Endjinn because *I could not read one quarter of the book*. Okay, I get it that Bascule thinks and speaks in a weird way. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO RE-LEARN HOW TO READ! It got too slow and painful so I ditched the book two-thirds of the way through.

Besides I was confused. Are they in a big giant house? Are they tiny things in a regular sized house? Are they in a house or all over the Earth? Is this fantasy or future science fiction? What is going on?
