These short stories are so brutal and so funny in the same time that I think only Welsh can do that and make a fantastic collection. Some of the stories are really disgusting, but I like them :) ( )

To steal a phrase, reading this is like getting your head smashed in with a lemon wrapped around a gold brick... in a good way. I find Irvine Welsh's short story collections to be better than his novels. ( )

Strange, funny, rude, shocking, trippy - very druggy, very surreal ( )

Irvine Welsh's collection of short stories is a fun read -- plenty of strong humor and characteristic Welsh shock. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393312801, Paperback)

Made up of three of Welsh's most powerful stories, all come from the rough, tough badlands of the schemes of North Edinburgh and take us into a dark but hilarious world of drugs, deviant sex and football hooliganism fired by Welsh's passion and fierce steaming rock and roll.
