Summary: Just Great!
Comment: Welsh has put the 'T' back into trash with Filth. But the fact of the matter is that he has to be one of the most talented authors I have ever read. The book is written in Scottish dialect which gives the reader a much more realistic perspective when reading the novel. Another very interesting technique used by Welsh is the use of a dash instead of quotation marks to show dialogue.The main character is very complex, although Welsh passes him off as a degenerate. The novel is filled with profanity, but don't be offended, it is mainly just Scottish slang and is not always used to offend anyone. Probably my favorite thing about Filth, is the frame story using a tapeworm living in the main characters gut as the narrator. Filled with heaving drug use and debauchery that is oh so very necessary, Filth is a humorous novel and will definetly teach any reader how NOT to treat people. And to those of you who want to send their mothers into shock, give them Filth as a gift...

Summary: Bad lieutenaut
Comment: This is a funny book. It's also the most difficult to read since Maribou Stork Nightmares. Welsh uses more tricks and interruptions in this book than in most. You never forget that you are reading a book. Welsh is known for his good taste in music and occasional DJing himself. In this book the main character likes so much bad music like Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and hair metal. It reminds me of American Psycho.

Summary: The funniest book I've ever read
Comment: I was in stitches reading this. It's one of those books I always go back and re-read the funny sections. When Bruce goes on one of his discourses on his tastes in popular music (Michael Bolton, Phil Collins, Foreigner), I gasp for air I'm laughing so hard. How tasteless it may seem, relax, it's black comedy/satire. If you don't agree with my assesment, my guess is that you're some PC bleeding heart. If you are, go read the Joy Luck Club or some feminist book.
