reviewed Trainspotting: A Screenplay on
Ok, i liked this book way more than i thought i would. As for the complaints about the Scottish dialogue, it didn't bother me a bit, it's obvious what they're talking about and there's no struggle. The reviews worried me a bit that i would have to struggle to understand it but i think they're a bit exaggerated. I like the pictures of the clips for the scenes. I love Renton. It made me laugh alott which was much needed, i havent read a good book that makes me laugh in awhile.
All in all i def recommend it.

"A group of disaffected Scottish youths turn to heroin to escape the banalities of modern-day existence. Then, they begin to suffer the consequences and discover that there are no easy solutions to the inherent loneliness and pain of life."
