Description
Book Synopsis"A family saga, a revenge fantasy, a
Twilight Zone-esque parable, and, most importantly, a very fun read." —
Entertainment WeeklyTrade Review"Emotional honesty—plus jokes that actually work." -- Details
"Welsh's best since his spectacular debut novel
Trainspotting." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Succeeds on the strength of its tart sentences and bleak atmospherics. And the Jekyll-and-Hyde routine keeps the pages turning, even as it puts a fresh slant on that time-honored phrase, the Significant Other." -- James Marcus - Los Angeles Times Book Review
"What begins as a narrative-switching character study quickly veers into Chuck Palahniuk territory....Hilarious insight into everything from foodie culture to the dark side of Star Trek conventions." -- Philadelphia Week
"Full-bodied view of life's ironies....A more aggro John Irving." -- Publishers Weekly
"Compelling....All the characters in this book, even the minor ones, are drawn with scary accuracy in Welsh's unusual voice." -- Mark Lindquist - Seattle Times
