Its quite a stimulating read, I like reading it on a regular basis.

Hur hur - Immature jokes pushed aside - I'm talking about the book by Irvine Welsh.

I must say its rather good. Very gritty, dirty and quite shocking, but its funny as hell. Good to read, And it should be made into a film.

That is all.

I always thought Irvine was a woman's name.

I like the changing between characters each chapter.

T'is good.

Sick Boy is a great character. This is also my favourite of Welsh's books, having only read this. I think I started to read Trainspotting but couldn't handle the dialect. It was proper gash, ah tell ye.

When you get to the bit where they're trying to give their movie some publicity, check out the website they use.

It really exists.

I enjoyed this book, didn't want it to end the way that it did, but it was kind of satisfying anyway (don't want to give anything away).

In fact, it's up there with my favourite Welsh novels.

The Begbie bits are the best.

I imagine SHEEPY looking like this.

Of course they'll make it into a film, considering how well Trainspotting was recieved.
