Roy Strang is engaged in a strange quest in a surrealist South Africa. His mission is to eradicate an evil predator-scavenger bird, the marabou stork, before it drives away the peace-loving flamingo from the picturesque Lake Torto.
But behind this world lies another: the world of Roy's bizarre family, the Scottish housing scheme in which he grew up, his mundane job, a disastrous emigration to Africa, and his youthful life of brutality with a gang of soccer casuals. As one world crashes into the other, this potentially charming story of ornithological goodwill mutates into a filthy tale of violence, abuse and redemption.

This was my first taste of Irvine Welsh and I picked one of his more powerful books. Between the Scottish dialect, 3 separate, yet entwined stories and the fact that the print itself was actually part of the story (you will know when you see it). This book was difficult to put down, it is still difficult to put down even after reading it several times. If you like books that really mess with your head and keep you guessing, then I highly recommend this book.
