Rebus is strongly cast wherever you slice it, but the finest slice is Ken Stott: quizzical, quiet and wearing a look of almost humorous despair.I am so fond of Mr Stott: there's something so delightfully rumpled about him. He's so much better suited to this role than John Hannah was.

I'm a stupidly huge fan of the books and wimpy features was a terrible choice. Stott is better from what I've seen but I've been put off completely anyway.
I can highly recommend Rebus's Scotland though, an insight to author, character and country.
Yes, Rebus's Scotland is good. Picked it up cheap at Damprocks (with the intention of sending it to my parents) and ended up going back the next day to buy myself a copy.
I don't want to get too deep on you, but I reckon that Rebus is a modern morality tale. I'd go further and say that he is he embodiment of the kind of God that Muriel Spark had in mind.
Flawed, confused, detached. Letting people face the consequences of their actions.
Maybe I mean Lucifer instead?
