Title: Strangely Fascinated...
Review: I finished Trainspotting five minutes ago and it was a heartache to close the book after having absorbed so many emotions from it. I searched for it because I had heard only a little about it with the exception of a few famous people reading it. Due to my vanity, I had to read it. A friend bought it for me and as soon as I started, I was blown away by the dialect and slang used. Once I got over the initial intimidation, I dove headfirst into an incredible book. Although this isn't my usual read, (I'm a huge W. Gibson fan), I found myself absolutely captivated by Welsh's characters. I think of him as a fabulous storyteller who captured the epitome of the tragedy of being young. I applaud him for showing that we do indeed have remorse for what we do. But we also have a love/hate relationship for this world. Read Trainspotting. It was indescribably beautiful.
