Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Not bad for a beginning author - funny but not all that much. The main problem is that the ends of most of these stories, even those really funny throughout like eg Posh Cunt, tend to be somewhat anticlimactic. And having one story much longer than any of the others put into the middle of the book is a great idea, except that I disliked this particular story (it doesn't have an antihero, it has a repulsive "hero"). no reviews | add a review

I liked it a lot - Glasgow and Edinburgh may be quite different, but I like to think we're cut from the same cloth ultimately, which shows in our sense of humour.
The quote on the cover - Irvine Welsh meets Limmy - is pretty accurate. Mixes the weird humour of the latter with the short stories about social realism of the former. ( )
