I haven't but I've just seen that I can borrow the ebook from the library.

I think you need a reasonable grasp of Glaswegian. Mr T read it and made a list of all the expressions a non- Scottish reader might have difficulty with to send it as a glossary with a copy of the book to a friend in Australia.

It's good. The comment about Weegie is well made, though.

Read it as a Book Group a few months ago. Very gritty, some parts seem contrived, but it scored 9/10.
