 I'm old school and initially didn't catch on to some of the lingo, but after the first few pages it went fine. It was different for me to be reading about two brothers in their twenties from a working class family in one of the South Wales valleys. But there were "romantic" (I use that descriptor broadly) tensions etc and ultimately it was a satisfying read. I got a glimpse of what it's like to work in a slaughterhouse. And I liked the way the author concluded it --ie open-ended-- but sometimes that works.
