Wild, brave and funny * Sunday Times *Welsh is brilliant at what he does… This is his most readable and memorable novel since Trainspotting * Independent on Sunday *His most ambitious, but also his most complete and engaging work to date… arguably, his best book * Times Literary Supplement *Full of incident, mad, crackling dialogue, attractively appalling characters and some of the funniest and rudest sex scenes I have read since Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint * Sunday Times *With razor-sharp dialogue, a powerful odour of ordinary desperation and an incisive understanding of what makes these men’s friendship tick, Welsh is at the top of his game * The Face *Welsh slams back into form with his sixth book - all brutal sentimentality and bleak, edgy humour… You have a coming-of-age story carved out with a broken bottle * Elle *Easily his best book since the one that made his name * Independent on Sunday *I’ve never felt so attached to characters as I did in that book and have definitely never stayed awake all night sobbing after reading a book, but I did when I read that – Hollie McNish * Good Housekeeping *
