Trainspotting marked the capital debut of a capital writer. This marvellous novel might feel like a bad day in Bedlam, but boy is it exhilarating
A novel perpetually in a starburst of verbal energy - a vernacular spectacular... The stories we hear are retched from the gullet
Scotland on Sunday
A page-turner... Trainspotting gives lies to any cosy notions of a classless society
Independent on Sunday
An unremitting powerhouse of a novel that marked the arrival of a major new talent. Trainspotting is a loosely knotted string of jagged dislocated tales that lay bare the hearts of darkness of the junkies, wideboys and psychos who ride the down escalator of opportunity in the nation's capital. Loud with laughter in the dark, this novel is the real Mccoy

One of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit and force
Times Literary Supplement
The best book ever written by man or woman... Deserves to sell more copies than the bible

The Scottish Celine
Guardian
The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent
Sunday Times
Welsh has certainly described the world surrounding Edinburgh's underground drug movement with a most amazing intimacy
