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.

Much needed audio to understand the full power

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

Storyline and Narration top of class

A gritty insight into Edinburgh's dark side.
