Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding
Review: I've read all of Welsh's books and they certainly can go off on some bizarre tangents, but Glue is tour de force. Its a simple story, forcefully told.The Scots dialect may be difficult to understand for non-Scots, but put in the effort as you will be well rewarded.Everything about this book is superbly written: From the descriptions of the seventies tenements, to the football violence, to the ageing process. What differs from most of Welsh's other books is that although there is his customary despair and nightmarish scenarios, there is a heavy dose of comedy and the dialogue is absolutely incredible.The book's main conclusion is redemption and is ultimately uplifting.Quite simply the most aggressive, funny, outlandish and uplifting book I've read in many a year.Good work, chap.
