Love it!

Love it!

A delightfully disgustig read.

I'm a big fan of Irvine Welsh and I was not disappointed with this great book. I think it is a masterpiece of social commentary, One scene with some old hag getting her knickers down was absolutely disgusting and very close to the bone and that's just one of the things I love about the author's work because it's so true to life. The man can do no wrong in my eyes. If you enjoy this kind of reading I recommend checking out this bombshell of a book.Mind Bomb

Masterclass from Welsh

Another pageturner from Irvine - hope to see this on the big screen sometime in the future.

reality literature

Irvine Welsh can be a difficult author to read with rambling dialogue and phonetically spelled Scottish-English, but this book is a pure joy! If you are a person in their late 30's to early 40's you'll find much to relate to with classic punk flash backs and slams on current trends. This book defines "reality literature" with a behind the scenes narrative that will delight and disgust. The perfect combination of the sordid and sweet with magical voodoo undertones.

Classic Welsh

In the tradiotion of Trainspotting, Porno, Filth, and Glue; The Bedroom Secrets is an amazing novel that will trap you between its covers until the ride is over, whether or not you are willing top take it.

Especially recommended for readers with an interest in high drama

His journey will take him across the UK into America, surveying chefs' history, habits, and work. This is a work of superbly written fiction, "The Bedroom Secrets of The Master Chefs" and especially recommended for readers with an interest in high drama against the background of the food world who will find it of truly exceptional interest.
