I am ashamed to say I thoroughly enjoyed this.
This book contains violence, graphic sex and drug use. But far more than that, it is the story of a writer seeking inspiration from his life, and seemingly realising he might have to look elsewhere.
A word of warning... No, nothing to do with the sex and drugs and stuff... This was written by a genuine Scotsman. A man with no pretence of going out of his way to use "The Queens English", or any other English come to think of it.
That, above all else, endeared me to this book. I grew up in Scotland and the dialogue, the characters, the humour, the familiar words I've not heard in years - they all just made this what it is. (I even found myself reading this in a scottish accent - Do you know how disconcerting that is?)
Whatever your nationality, this is the sort of book you can easily enjoy. Yes, there might be the occasional word you don't understand, but honestly... look through the little things and a wonderful story of life emerges that will make you giggle (at the very least).
P.S. Would love to know what happened to that car at the end!
