Review: We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night

We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night by Joel Thomas Hynes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Capsule Review: Someone [Cliff Jackman?] already made the comparison to Irvine Welsh and Trainspotting - so it is what you imagine: dark & dirty & rotten & full of the barest most base regret; illuminated by moments with Johnny's sister/mother Tanya, Johnny's tainted memories of his girlfriend, Madonna and my favourite: the brief section with penitent Jerome. Winner of the 2017 GG's for fiction.
