Advantages: good read

Disadvantages: not for the easily offended

When one imagines a happy ending, it wouldn't be like Irvine Welsh depicted in the three short stories contained in "Ecstasy". The first story, tells about a bed-ridden romance author who plans to get revenge on her unfaithful husband with the help of her nurse Lorraine. In the second, a soccer thug falls in love with a paraplegic girl who tries to find the man who marketed the drug that rendered her crippled all her life. Finally, the last tells the stories of Lloyd, a raver, and Heather, a "yuppie", and their pursuits of growth. I would consider the first to be my favourite. The stories are filled with a biting humour and refreshing new ideas. A word of warning though: this is not for the easily offended.
