nx74defiantI prefer Ian Banks Sci-fi to his contemporary fiction.
The 911 tragedy sets the time period when this happened, but it doesn't really affect the characters' lives.
I really didn't care for the narrator. He is too full of himself. He has built a career out of being outrageous. He has a girl friend he cheats on by having an affair with a mobster's wife yet still goes to a bar and picks up a woman. I had no sympathy for him when his girl friend broke up with him.
I didn't deserve the happy ending he gets. But I like the thoughts on the Scottish verdict of not proven.
