Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh

If you like black comedy, you'll love Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. I read this book after I watched the movie adaptation, and yes, both made a lasting impression on me.

Though some parts of Trainspotting are funny in a dark and sometimes disturbing way, there are also heartbreaking scenes woven into the plot. I feel it balances the story quite well.

It's a novel about drugs, love, life and loss. Trainspotting is not for everyone. But if you're open-minded and can stomach most things, I'd definitely recommend this read.

My Score

My score for Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh:

8/10

I won't give it a solid 10 merely because it's not the best novel I've read. But it surely worked for me and I'd say it's in my top 5.
