Unfortunately I left this behind by accident while traveling so I did not get to finish. Probably got a third of the way through. Reminded me a lot of catcher in the rye: the protagonist is a crude cynical whiny little teenage boy, surrounded by ugly stupid corrupt oppressive adults. I didn't enjoy CitR and I didn't think much of this one either (obvious caveat that I didn't finish). In this book the narrator constantly says "fucken'" instead of "fucking" - in trainspotting the dialogue is written in phonetic Scottish accents or dialects and it's brilliant - this however fucking sucks.
