Media Reviews

[Welsh] has never written with greater verve... This is a novel packed with energy. -- Tom Adair * Scotsman *
Shady, crazy and dark. * Shortlist *
Welsh doesn't disappoint... Bag yourself a ringside seat. -- Elena Seymenliyska * Daily Telegraph *
This is a visceral romp of a novel, a manic endorphin rush of a read that nevertheless also manages to sneak in some serious commentary on the state of American society, putting this book right up there with the best of Irvine Welsh's work. -- Doug Johnstone * Independent on Sunday *
Not only cleverly conceived but genuinely, hauntingly, transgressive. -- Sandra Newman * Guardian *
Razor-sharp prose... Both Lucy and Lena dazzle in this hugely entertaining read. -- Kevin Scott * List *
Boisterous, exuberant. * Sunday Times *
A compelling read. -- Russell Leadbetter * Glasgow Sunday Herald *
