About this ebook
Now a major film directed by Danny Boyle reuniting the cast of Trainspotting
Years on from Trainspotting Sick Boy is back in Edinburgh after a long spell in London. Having failed spectacularly as a hustler, pimp, husband, father and businessman, Sick Boy taps into an opportunity which to him represents one last throw of the dice. However, to realise his ambitions within the Adult industries, Sick Boy must team up with old pal and fellow exile Mark Renton. Still scheming, still scamming, Sick Boy and Renton soon find out that they have unresolved issues to address concerning the unhinged Begbie, the troubled, drug-addled Spud, but, most of all, with each other.
T2 Trainspotting was previously published as Porno.

They maybe older but they certainly are no better behaved. The boys from Leith give us a taste of what its like to be a heid banger on chizee. Its a great read full of tension and dark humour, a worthy successor to Skagboys and Trainspotting.

This book excels in portraying the harrowing turn of events, that lead some to heroin. Urban social decay. The hardest to read of the trilogy, for me personally. Welsh pulls no punches. Welcome to the projects...

More than just a sequel. A culmination of many favorable characters from many tales that wraps up in a nostalgically epic, twisting fashion. I only wish I could erase my memory and read it again. Cannot wait to read Skagboys.
