A review by whoisrois
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh

adventurous dark funny reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

So so so good. (obviously) 

I enjoyed the self contained short story chapters outside of the main plot best

A lot of characters to keep straight, I keep mixing 2nd prize, Davey, Marty and Tommy up 😮‍💨
