"Irvine Welsh is in a class of his own...[his books have] a seething life in them that rivets attention and an inventiveness with story and language that continually amuses and amazes" Guardian "It is an exquisitely paced black comedy. It has clever and funny things to say. There was a rumour that Welsh's last novel, Porno was to be his last. You'll be glad it wasn't" Evening Standard "Flickers with the dynamism, black humour and imaginative bravado that is Welsh at his best" Financial Times "An outrageous and exhilarating foul-mouthed book" Sunday Times "Vintage Welsh: Brilliant, graphic, with frequent forays into the grotesque" Sunday Tribune
