If You Liked School, You'll Love Work by Irvine Welsh
3.0
This is my first, and possibly my last, Irvine Welsh book. I can appreciate the way he captures dialect and can very vividly set the scene and characterization of all the people in his stories. But I don’t think this grim, grotesque, and gorey sort of fiction is for me.
It did take me a lot longer to read the chapters written in the Scottish accent; some words or sentences I had to read out loud to have any idea what was being said. That being said, that story was my favorite of the bunch.
The first story I didn’t like and I almost didn’t finish reading the book because it was torture porn shit and I was worried that was all the book was going to contain.
I don’t regret reading it but I hope I forget it soon.
