Disgusting, gut-wrenching, painful and at the same time hilarious and thoughtful. This is a whole new experience per se, never felt so many contrasting things from a book. The way Welsh writes takes you right into the middle of it all and shakes you to the core. I am still shocked by the ending. Really shocked. Extremely recommended, though be careful: not for the faint hearted, REALLY. It's vicious and disgusting and painful. As the book itself says: suitable only for persons of strong constitution. Really, follow that advice. It's not an exaggeration.
