Irvine Welsh is the master of tales of the grotesque, and in spite of his books all being set in the same milieu, amongst the alcoholic and drug abusing working class of Edinburgh, he usually manages to bring enough new ideas to each story to make them worth reading, in spite of the regular feeling of deja vu.
The main characters of this story are food inspectors working for Edinburgh council, with one of their "customers" being an obese celebrity chef who is, in part, famous for his book "Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs".
The food inspectors quickly grow to loathe one another, but find themselves tied by a magical bond which seems destined to lead one or both of them to their demise.
If don't mind having to interpret Scottish and enjoy an endless stream of foul language and gross imagery, then you'll probably find the book entertaining.
