Excellent!
Excellent book. With Ian Banks usual wit and observations. It's the nearest to an autobiography on one of Scotland's greatest writers, but with whisky

Nice work if you can get it.
The research for this book was clearly a hoot, but it's not one of Iain Banks's better works.

Brilliant
Like sinking into a comfy armchair in a highland pub. Banks is funny, erudite, and just generally brilliant here.

Iain Banks is a great writer!
Loved the variety of subject matter, cars, roads, food and wine, friendships, and yes a bit of whiskey talk, actually a lot of whiskey talk. Banks style and wit that he shows in his fiction and Sci-Gi are still there, plus we hear more about his own life at that time. One of my favourites, RIP IMB.
