Reviews / Votes
Brilliant * Daily Express * Crime is by some distance Welsh's most restrained and thoughtful work * The Times * You never know what you're going to get with Irvine Welsh, other than guaranteed intelligence. But what you get in Crime is a triumph... There's only one Welsh and you should be reading him again * Observer * Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing for decades * Sunday Times * If you like your crime dramas Scottish and sweary, this one's for you * Evening Standard * Trainspotting is the best book ever written by man or woman... Deserves to sell more copies than the Bible * Rebel Inc * Irvine Welsh is more than happy to assault current shibboleths... unsparing... caustic stuff.. those who relish his unvarnished, in-your-face narratives will get more than their money's worth * Financial Times * Resolution continues the industrially gritty travails of Ray Lennox... slowly developing into one of Welsh's most enigmatic, enduring and intriguing characters * Scotland on Sunday * Welsh's crime trilogy reaches a grisly conclusion in this revenge tragedy... [the] plot twists keep the pages turning * Mail on Sunday * There's no denying...[Welsh's] ability to plum the more toxic reaches of masculinity and the nightmares they conceal * The Times *More details
