Interpretation In Favor Of Books Ecstasy

Que se passe-t-il quand les fantasmes qu'on a dans la tête se répandent dans la vie - et vice versa ? Ces "contes de la folie ordinaire" pour une fin de siècle conjuguent plusieurs sortes d'addiction : l'amour, la vengeance, la drogue. On y voit des handicapés monter une organisation terroriste, un auteur de romans sentimentaux s'abandonner à son penchant pour la pornographie, et un couple d'accidentés de la vie fusionner dans l'amour absolu. Avec ces trois romances "chimiques", Irvine Welsh s'aventure dans une zone dangereuse, où la réalité ne fait que confirmer nos pires cauchemars.

Assessment Based On Books Ecstasy

The first story is not worth your time. The second two are pretty good. It's a dated collection, since drugs and ecstasy are the relating theme. Only a must for Welsh fans, I think.

I didn't read this for the cover, my fascination and simultaneous utter disgust of the x culture or even the fact that this was written by the same author as "Trainspotting". No, I read this because this is the book that Mikey Way was looking at and suggested they name their band after it.I doubt he read this book any more than he practiced the bass guitar before playing in a band.I love the band, not the book, but it was an interesting read nonetheless.

The first 2 stories were incredibly gripping and disturbing - in other words brilliant. Tale no.3 however, was the only thing preventing a 5* rating. To make matters worse, a film was made based solely on the 3rd tale... and I thought it was bloody awful. Maybe after watching Trainspotting, The Acid House and Filth my standards were too high - but there it is. As far as the book goes I would still recommend it. Tale no.1 has a chilling Saville-esque character up to all sorts of disturbing

Raves. Stuff like that.

'Ecstasy' (or 'Ecstasy: 3 Tales of Chemical Romance') is a book comprised of three short stories all centring around love/sex/relationships/romance whilst high on Ecstasy.I really enjoyed the first two stories in this collection, but wasn't such a fan of the third. Which is a shame, as that was the longest. Overall though I can say I did like it more than Trainspotting, which I found good but quite painful to read. I'm really glad I've finally read this book; I've been meaning to since I was

eh. the first story was my favorite.

Really disturbing, but I remember this as a great read nonetheless. Welsh has the ability to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck with deceptively simple descriptions of wholly credible human callousness and abuse, peppered with characters that you know you met at some party or other, late one night... Hideous but awesome in equal quantities. I really enjoyed his writing style.
