The trouble with Will Self is that he finds Will Self a fascinating subject. This is all just a bit too clever clever for my liking, and while the plot is engaging enough, you do get tired of the oft repeated devices to remind us we're dealing with apes here not humans. It all feels clumsy and cack handed and Self's obsession with sex and body fluids just gets dull after 100 pages. Buy it if you want, but I'd sooner settle down with a nice cup of tea and a good book.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
excellent disturbing thought provoking writing from an author who has the uncanny knack of seeming psychic when describing the inner feelings of characters completely opposite too himself. read also will self's The Book of Dave which is a masterpiece.
