I almost didn't finish this book, frankly the only reason I did is because it's so short.

There are maybe two coherent snippets of prose that bring any sort of light into the story. However, you'd have to wade through an insane amount of racism, homophobia, rape, and general nastiness to stumble across them. Frankly, it's not worth it.

I also found the translation style to be distracting, I'm not sure why the translator thought the dialogue should sound Glaswegian but it doesn't work.
