If Ken Loach had been the director we'd have seen a far better adaptation of the book. Incidentally, if anyone likes the book check out "Marabou Stork Nightmares" by the same author. It's by far his best book, although it is panned by most reviewers. He's not a writer I particularly like, but that is a great book.
i thought the movie was quite good , but the book is so much better. Haven't read Maribou Stork Nightmares (i couldn't get into it . thought it was kinda weird) but i have read "Porno". Man , that was fukkin' hilarious.It's like a follow up to "Trainspotting".
