Critic Reviews

“"A novel perpetually in a starburst of verbal energy a vernacular spectacular…the stories we hear are retched from the gullet." -Scotland on Sunday "One of the most original writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit and force." - Nick Hornby,Times Literary Supplement”

Abhorrently dark and raw to the core, Trainspotting is an insight into one of life’s many ugly personalities — addiction and the accompanying domino effect of grim inevitabilities… Irvine Welsh’s novel will always be a cult classic. -- Tori Chalmers Culture Trip
Welsh’s skill as a storyteller is undeniable, bringing both wit and compassion to a grim subject matter. If you liked Danny Boyle’s film adaptation, you’ll love the original. -- Maddy Searle i
The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent Sunday Times
