Anmeldelser

«A pure writer, producing staggering feats of storytelling... The skill of a master»

Independent

«Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing to have happened to British writing for decades»

Sunday Times

«Urgent, violent, bleakly funny prose»

Nick Hornby, Times literary Supplement

«Welsh's world is spiky, trashy and brutal. It is also brilliant, hilarious and infused with a kind of punkish morality»

Sunday Express

«The poet laureate of the chemical generation»

Helene – 08.07.2005

– Dette er en bok som er i samme sjanger som Trainspotting. Samme type språk og samme type kyniske mennesker og masse narkotika. En minst like bra bok som Trainspotting i mine øyne! Er i likhet med hans andre bøker ikke noen lystig affære, men blir heller ikke for depressiv til tross for sine dystre temaer.
Personlig liker jeg å lese Welsh sine bøker på orginalspråket fordi jeg liker utfordringen i å lese skotsk. Han skriver likt som han snakker. Hvis man ikke er helt stødig i Engelsk vil jeg tro dette er en vanskelig bok å lese. Men for dere som likte Trainspotting (filmen eller boken eller begge) er denne absolutt å anbefale!
