'A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing...
Innocent in the ways of the world, an ingenue when it comes to pop and fashion, the Elect of God of a small but committed Stirlingshire religious cult: Isis Whit is no ordinary teenager.
When her cousin Morag - Guest of Honour at the Luskentyrian's four-yearly Festival of Love - disappears after renouncing her faith, Isis is marked out to venture among the Unsaved and bring the apostate back into the fold. But the road to Babylondon (as Sister Angela puts it) is a treacherous one, particularly when Isis discovers that Morag appears to have embraced the ways of the Unsaved with spectacular abandon...'

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

While I have enjoyed other titles by Iain Banks, and this one does look interesting, it simply isn't the type of book I've been interested in reading lately, and I don't see it rising to the top of my TBR pile anytime soon, so it is time for it to move along. I'm including it in a box of books I'm mailing off to help stock a new OBCZ.

This book is an inaugural addition to the book exchange at The Bristol, here in Charleston, SC. It was sent by my friend, ResQGeek and received with much gratitude. I love that it's been through other BookCrossers, along the way, and started the journey down under. Plus, it's a SIGNED Iain Banks, and one I haven't read. It may take a detour to my TBR pile first. Thanks for sending!

I can’t believe someone trashed a signed copy of a book with all these stickers. Took away all the enjoyment of reading an Iain Banks book. Boo hiss.
