![]() Porno $14.95 I know I'll get mostly negative reviews on my review, but I found this book unrewarding. I've never read a Welsh book. I loved the movie Trainspotting, so, yeah, I got this looking for a sequel. Did I finish this book? No. I in fact read probably only 1/5th of it. The reason I stopped is I found myself picking it up and constantly putting it down after a few pages. I tried, but I simply had no desire to read, it was like a grind trying to get through it. Ultimately I decided to not bother, and I felt free. Presumably the gang from Trainspotting show up, but if they do it must be after quite a few pages, because all I got to were vague references to Begbie. The main problem with this book was the narrative. It's 90% low-class slang and simply laborious to slog through. It's like reading an entire book in texting format; e.g. "IDK my BFF Jill, wud u lk 2 meet aftr werk 4 dinr?" Obviously most people liked it, but just beware that this book isn't going to tickle everybody's fancy. Perhaps if it was a movie a dullard like me could use the moving pictures to help with the dialogue. |
