Trade ReviewIt's good to be brought back to Welsh's original hellfire * Observer *
The stories combine sly humour with the tang of lived experience. It makes for a terrific collection, showcasing a writer who...has blossomed into one of the most distinctive, and distinguished, observers of British life * Sunday Telegraph *
A total hoot to read. The first thing that strikes you about much of the material here is the amazing energy of Welsh's writing * Independent on Sunday *
Welsh's work remains at once moving, repellent and worryingly funny * TLS *
Full of fun, frenzy and filth -- Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *
