This was an unexpected pleasure as I had little idea what to expect when I picked it up - but it got me hooked quickly. Written in a very clever and crafty style and convincing throughout. You are taken along on the ride, looking at human frailties as a bit of a laugh - there is a wicked sense of humour at work in the background.This was unlike anything I have read before - except maybe 'Money' by Martin Amis. But this was less intellectual and more of a pub-read and that is why I liked it.Personally, I found the swearing was a bit overdone - but then I am rather prudish in that way.All in all - a book to shock, but a guilty pleasure. Funny and quite sad in its view of human weaknesses and darker sides. Like a surprise movie you have no idea about and end up enjoying.
