A review by margaret45678
Filth by Irvine Welsh

dark sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

A bit heavy handed but effective satire. The twist at the end was sort of cheap though, relying on some overused tropes.
