The book itself is great, but Google have ruined it. It's full of mistakes and illegible text, with zero's going through the middle and text that doesn't correspond. What a disappointing user experience.

I found the pace of the book a bit slow; as a matter of fact, getting to the middle of the story the plot didn't seem to move at all, as if the author was simply enjoying the act of producing scenes that could be the most offensive to the reader. Once the plot starts picking up steam again, it still moves a bit too slowly, but the characterization and the very original use of the tapeworm as a device to develop the story turns "Filth" into a very good book.

Not suitable for common viewers. Quite a lot of harsh words. But still worth reading it.
