I had such high hopes for this book, but I feel very let down. It was too clunky in its Glasgow backdrop and ultimately it was boring! Nothing happened- no real character development, no epiphanies, and no action either. I learned nothing about 'living on the margins in 90s scotland' or about being a struggling actor.

Wow, this book was tough going. There was a constant, creeping feeling of underlying dread the whole way through. The writing was brilliant, but I found it an emotionally tough read. Which is unusual for me.
