it was amazing

Absolutely my favorite Welsh read.I loved the humor and Bruce was so relateable(to me and my type of humor) but sort of over-the-top in his slurs towards many controvercial subjects which only made me giggle,tsk and shake my head.He thought many of the things people would never admit to thinking in their own heads so they just right off the book as its namesake and dont read any further. But I loved the shocking twist and its completely original narrative style. And how Bruce and the tapeworm slowly were submerging until the tapeworm got louder until both ineviteablye died was brilliant in the overall feeling of human waste taking over.I felt like I needed a shower after every read but I never grew bored or offended enough to put it down. Bruce reminded me of a dirty Scottish version Patrick Bateman.I love Irvine's style and his straight fowardness.He never holds back and isnt afraid to take a dip in the filth of human exsistance that everyone denies but what ulitimately make us human.I would recommend it to any cynical,dry humored reader like myself and can say that those of us would enjoy it thoroughly.
