Sensitive readers should be warned that the book describes several sadistic murders in a fairly detailed manner. Banks has claimed in an interview that Complicity is " bit like The Wasp Factory except without the happy ending and redeeming air of cheerfulness," and The Wasp Factory is quite a macabre book itself http://www.sandm.co.uk/mary/sfjournm/The_Books_Of_Iain_Banks/the_books_of_iain_banks.html.
