skittyrreads 's review for:

Filth by Irvine Welsh
4.5
challenging dark mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was brilliant satire at every level, expertly written. Bruce Robertson is a tour de force of a character and the worm is a fantastic counter to him. Fuck the police, fuck the filth.
