An alternate view of life and the inhabitants of Edinburgh. The language is quite amusing, as it is written in the local vernacular - quite colourful. You can see the influence of Scottish on Ontario language, particularly the curse words.
A funny book - not much actually happens in the sense of going anywhere with the story. It is more a rambling portrayal of the lives of a bunch of junkies and the crazy (and disgusting) situations they put themselves in.
More a political statement and an anti-Scottish romanticism statement.
