Storyline and Narration top of class
Fantastic writing paired with the best narration I’ve heard to date (and I’ve been a member for 10 years). Highly recommended.

A gritty insight into Edinburgh's dark side.
loved it. The movie is not a patch on the book. I look forward to reading the sequel and prequel.

Brilliant narration, full of sarcasm and bile
Funny, dark, critical of society, a highly detailed account of characters and their personal tragedy

Much needed audio to understand the full power
I found Trainspotting the book a bit difficult to get through & the film was great but I wanted to see the differences in the text. I was recommended the audiobook & oh boy is it indispensable. It works better spoken than read especially if you're not familiar with Scots as a language & the performer does a great job bringing all the characters to life. Grim yet transcendental, there's nothing like Trainspotting.
