Masterclass from Welsh

Another pageturner from Irvine - hope to see this on the big screen sometime in the future.

Standard Welsh....Very Good!

PILATE: A Brutal Bible TaleExcessive drinking? check. Drug use? check. Stomach turning sex? double-check. Narcissistic tendancies? Hells, yeah. In The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs we have Standard Welsh doing Standard Welsh. Meaning, if you Dig the wide-o, which I do, you will love it. Still the ballsiest of the lot, Welsh does not dissapoint in this clear-eyed look at the red-rimmed swollen orbs of his unbelievable, but somehow familiar characters. Standard Welsh. Too right, and thank God!!

Running out of steam

There's some good stuff in this book, but Welsh is running out of steam. Maybe he's trying to be more disgusting than Chuck Palahniuk? Surely there are better motivations for writing. Try his earlier works, such as Porno, Marabou Stork Nightmares, and of course Trainspotting. This one is not quite up to it.

A delightfully disgustig read.

I'm a big fan of Irvine Welsh and I was not disappointed with this great book. I think it is a masterpiece of social commentary, One scene with some old hag getting her knickers down was absolutely disgusting and very close to the bone and that's just one of the things I love about the author's work because it's so true to life. The man can do no wrong in my eyes. If you enjoy this kind of reading I recommend checking out this bombshell of a book.Mind Bomb

"Bedroom Secrets," - a review.

Irvine Welsh's novel includes three topics...sex, food, and celebrity. Oh yeah, let's not forget drugs. Would it be an Irvine Welsh story without drugs? Maybe. Would his avid readers be satisfied? Probably not.
This tale has it's central character, in the partying Danny Skinner. He's a restaurant inspector on a journey to find his father. His enemy is the computer geek Brian Kibby. He relentlessly picks on Kibby throughout the story, and learns that their lives are somehow linked.
Skinner reads the book, "The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs," written by celebrity chef, Alan De Fretais. He eventually believes that the book may hold the secrets to finding his father.
Skinner ends up leaving Edinburgh to travel to San Francisco. He returns to Scotland, and discovers more about his nemesis, Brian Kibby.
"Bedroom Secrets" is a bit of a twisted story, about rivalry, making it in the world, and finding oneself. Welsh's skills as a writer are shown once again, to be high above his contemporaries. Though not his best work, fans will not be dissappointed.
