This book will bruise your intellect, smash your nose and allow you to walk down a path you might not be able to return on. The novel will make you feel small but integral to your living world and ultimately Barker will remind you that while you (the reader) may be insignificant you are not so in the way you may think you are….and that makes you integral. But nonetheless it does so in several places. Weave-World does not feel as if it has to gross you out in order to get your attention. Love VS Hate and of course an element no Barker novel is without.
This novel in particular is broken up with MANY chapters and sub chapters: A very ambitious venture for a writer so early in their career. Barker is a master of forming worlds and he always links those worlds together using outside influences.
WW brings together a non-binary form of imagination that few writers seem to able to grasp. Where WW does not have the scope of Imagica its grip is just as tight. This Novel and Imagica could almost be the same story. The writing in Weave-World is just as effective as what he puts out in later novels. The sex, gore, and language are slightly tame compared to much of his other works. Barker seems to be writing for a larger audience. An early Barker Novel, Weave-World stands out for many reasons.
