Trainspotting

When Trainspotting came out ah mind it wis huge! Set in ma hametown, Edinburgh, but the dark underbelly the tourists dinnae see. It's no really a novel, mair a collection of sortay crisscrossing short stories meandering taewards an ending. Follaying a collection ay gadges in an aboot Leith as they get oan an aff the skag, get pished an doss aroond.
Disnae sound like much but it's disgusting, heartbreaking, shocking, poignant, revolting and revealing.
Ah luvved it.
Aw they mad cats an aw they twisted tales are aw totally believable. Ah'm pretty sure ah even met ah few - every pub on late 90s Leith Walk hud a bloke who kent Welsh an hud his ain story tae tell.
The language is no exactly Shakespeare, likesay, but it's raw an real. Ah've missed sayin bairn an barry an radge an aw. Ah'm resisting the choicer words, ya ken. Ay, dinnae read this if yer easily offended or hate swearin.
It's magic!
