I enjoyed the self contained short story chapters outside of the main plot best
A lot of characters to keep straight, I keep mixing 2nd prize, Davey, Marty and Tommy up 😮💨

This book is acid, hard, bleak and hilarious at the same time.
It's all written in modern scots, so be aware of that. I recommend making your own glossary, you'll need it.
This book is also a trigger warning fest, it has almost all trigger warning possible except necrophilia or something like that.
It's not for the thin skinned, but if you can handle anything that an author throws at you from the perspective of a drug addict in the 90's.
It's super recommended, even if you have never seen the movie.
