Temptation

I've read Trainspotting and I loved it. The book is pretty different from the movie, as the story does not focus around Renton and involves many other characters. To read this book, you have to be prepared to reading English written in the Scottish accent. I enjoyed reading about the lives of those petty criminals, seeing them deal with depression, learning about their views of the world and finding myself agreeing with them. The book, written by Irvine Welsh, is also really funny at times.

  1. Last month I've readt it too. But in Spanish (I hope read it in English one day) I love it too. I think is much better than the film, some stories are shocking...

    I never spect what "trainspotting" was.
