Status Updates From Trainspotting (Mark Renton,...

It just gets better. I’m obsessed with the film version of Trainspotting from 1996, and each moment in the book that lines up with it is perfection. Reading Scots is not for the weak.

So far, 51 pages in; it’s extremely entertaining and fun to read. I’m English, not Scottish, so trying my best to pull off the accent as well as decode Scots as I go is really something. I only intended on reading the first few pages (as I was trying to force myself to get through The Hobbit before committing to anything else) but it immediately had me hooked. Noah listened as I read aloud this fantastic book.
