What I love about the book is the relationship between Davie and Alan. And the way they each have their failings, despite also being excellent fellows.
The various film adaptions have never done it justice, I feel. And I'm not sure it's possible for them to do so, it being so much told from Davie's inner point of view.
I'm surprised to find that several people have found the language makes their reading slow. I'd be interested in a list of problematic words/phrases so that I can update my versions with extra glossary items.
