I was sceptical about the second person narrative. I expected pretension. I was wrong. It works perfectly. You get a lovely sense of the haze through which the harsh details penetrate. The failures, losers and addicts who cameo throughout the book are vivid and sad and funny. The narrator is frequently repulsive but you never want to leave his world. Its like Cheers meets Factotum. It's a brilliant book.
