Sinossi
Irruento, sboccato, beffardo: Trainspotting racconta il sesso, lo sballo e la rabbia di un gruppo di ragazzi di Edimburgo e dintorni. Renton, Sick Boy, Spud e Begbie sono i dannati di un modernissimo inferno chimico, che vivono una vita sfilacciata e senza scampo, alla costante ricerca di un riscatto, di un senso da dare alla propria esistenza. Terrorizzati all’idea di rimanere intrappolati nel vicolo cieco fatto di casa, famiglia e lavoro, trovano nella droga e nella violenza l’unica alternativa possibile al vuoto delle loro giornate. Alcuni moriranno, altri continueranno un’incerta esistenza sull’orlo del baratro, altri ancora decideranno di fuggire e di lasciarsi alle spalle in una sola, decisiva mossa la droga, i compagni e la Gran Bretagna. Ormai un classico che non cessa di stupire per l’originalità delle soluzioni espressive,per la carica aggressiva, per la frenesia linguistica e la varietà dei registri, Trainspotting è il romanzo shock che ha fatto epoca e dato voce a una generazione.

I must have read the first page of Trainspotting more than twenty times since purchasing the book years ago, and each time I would put it back in fear of all the Scottish dialect. There's no point lying, this is a challenging novel, sometimes you have to read things twice or pause to think about the Leggi tutto
I had avoided reading this 'generation defining' book as I had previously struggled to grasp the hard Scottish vernacular used, but after thoroughly enjoying Filth , I thought I was ready to read this. A book, a collection of numerous little stories, of the events and escapades of a group of young me Leggi tutto
Everything you heard about this book is true. It will not only melt your face, but also the faces of anyone in the same room as you. Be prepared for a deluge of c-words from page one to page last, be prepared for a detailed account of a bunch of lively Scottish junkies scuffling and waiting for thei Leggi tutto
This initially was challenging similar to A Clockwork Orange but I quickly grew to enjoy it. The book is uniquely presented because it is a series of stories told from first-person and a third-person narrative. After about halfway through the book I realized the characters and their experiences prog Leggi tutto
Probably the most famous passage from the book: "Whin yir oan junk, aw ye worry about is scorin. Oaf the gear, ye worry aboot loads ay things. Nae money, cannae git pished.

First time I've read this and couldn't put it down, seen the movie over a hundred times, know screenplay off by heart basically; what a great adaptation eh? Anyway enough of the movie..
