Meh. It's an entertaining enough read. I am baffled at how it has attained a cult following or how some of my mates consider it an essential classic.

Very moved by Muriel reading Iain Banks’ #TheCrowRoad in #GoodOmens2 (tears and all). I’d recognised the best opening line ever already. Hope this makes a new generation flock to his books. Thank you @neilhimself
#TheCrowRoad by #IainBanks on #BBC Scotland channel just now. A good adaption of a favorite book of his. I had a copy, signed by the big man himself for mec, but I lent it someone who lent it to someone and it never came back sadly.

Once upon a time, I started reading The Crow Road, by Iain Banks, and after a chapter or two gave up, and handed it to my partner. She read it and was enthralled. “He has such wonderful paragraphs!”

So I read it again, and instead of trying to zip through it to find out what was happening, I read each paragraph like a brush stroke on a masterpiece. That book is now one of my all time favourites.

It changed the way I read books.
