C'est sûr ! Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre My all time favorite Welsh, 3 simply filthy little stories! I'd just like to say that i DID own this and 'The Acid House' but both were borrowed permanently. It takes a while to get used to the very strong Scottish dialect and slang but once you do, the stories are gripping. Violent, vulgar and obscene but certainly gripping. All the stories have woven plot lines that come together at the end. The first is about a romance novel writer and a nurse. The second is about revenge against a pharmaceutical responsible for causing birth defects. The third is about a woman who leaves a loveless marriage. All three are rich with emotional detail. A very worthy read. All the gross-out drug-addled dialect-speak of Trainspotting, with a little corpse-buggering thrown in, but lacking the human impact. It revisits, without the flash of originality. One of Welsh's weaker books. The shock doesn't work without a decent story and characters to back it up. Another story of some youngish people and their relationships, revolving around a club scene that has a lot of Ecstasy being consumed. One great quote, about a woman's ex, who has become a suit, "...a man who changes his woman is one thing, but a man who changes his football team shows a lack of character." This after she finds out that he has decided to barrack for one of the big name clubs, get into a corporate box etc., rather than the small lower division team they had supported all their lives while growing up. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
