Quite a few interesting sentences. Good grit. But no semblance of plot or narrative. A rambling mess. Meh.
Books about writers and/or the entertainment industry have a bit of an uphill battle with me. Add the streetwise vernacular and I'm done. Although I did finish it. (I like to be able to complain.)
odd, small and easy to read.
I read this book twelve years ago and thought it was the shit. I highly recommend it if you enjoy action, and gritty characters.
The Irvine Welsh endorsement on the front cover is the best part of this book - but its not true!
I thought the story sucked. I didn't mind all the sex scenes/thoughts. The ending and the fact that the book is short are the best parts. I get that the story is told from the way Joey thinks/speaks but it makes it very difficult to fluidly read.
buen libro, un lenguaje bastante sucio, digno del personaje presentado, buen final
Don't start reading this book unless you're in a seriously F'd up mood and haven't eaten anything yet in the day because you might/probably will vomit every 20 pages or so.
(2/31)A nice and quick read. Edgy, transgressive, and with a dead-on psychopathological dialect that at turns chills, arouses, humors, and resonates with you. Short chapters, lyrical verse... Definitely gonna be looking out for this author’s other work.
The writing is short and sharp, relying heavily on vernacular, which feels a little dated.The central character is exposed slowly by staged reveals, which ultimately show him to be a repellent human being. There is little real plot, it's more about the journey the central character has made so far.There are some iffy sex scenes, and the lack of real warmth left me feeling very detached from the book.The ending feels quite abrupt, almost as though the writer himself didn't know where to take the
Joey. Joey Lo Tomas O Lo Dejas, tu historia es una mierda.Poco profunda.Floja.Desastrosa.¿Te había dicho que tu historia es una desastrosa y sin sentido mierda?¿Te lo había dicho?Al igual que tú, Joey, no sé nada.
This is the worst book I have ever read. It's...horrible. There's no depth to it, the characters are so flat, the plot is weak, the grammar is terrible - it just makes no sense. Don't get me wrong, I like nitty-gritty and the shock genre, but this is a terrible addition (is it even on par with its genre enough to be called an addition?) to it. It's completely awful. I'm glad that I read it just so that I can measure other books by it (e.g. "At least it wasn't as bad as KKFF"). And at least I kno...
Cada minuto que pase leyendo esto, es un minuto perdido para siempre en mi vida. He visto pornos de bajísima calidad que tienen mejor diálogo que esto, jamás había leído tanto la palabra coño. UGH.
This is writing at its best amazing wonderful and brilliant read this book!

At the start it sounds as though it will be an Elmore Leonard-type novel, like Stick, an ex-con trying to make it on the outside but unable to stay out of trouble. However, while both have been filmed, it is hard to imagine Burt Reynolds starring in the film version of Kill Kill Faster Faster. The Irvine Welsh endorsement on the cover should have been a clue.The story of 'Joey One-Way', junkie and wife-murderer, KKFF describes his affair (told in filthily graphic detail) with the wife of the fil...
This book is kind of a waste of time. It builds itself, and is built up, as an avant guard blow your mind kind of book. In reality it is kind of boring ride through the mind of a fairly uninteresting person. It feels like one of those "bad just to be bad" books and doesn't do that very well either.
I liked the sharp, quick writing style.
Cinco años con este libro guardado, ilusionandome. Para que al final fuese una historia cliché con remembranzas al macho violento, primitivo y asqueroso de cierto escritor que aborrezco. A ciertos momentos de la lectura me detenía porque habían escenas completamente innecesarias para la trama, y después noté que la trama tampoco era muy valiosa, afortunadamente lo terminé en un par de horas.
