Story
Glue is the story of four boys growing up in the Edinburgh schemes, and about the loyalties, the experiences, and the secrets that hold them together into their 30s. Four boys becoming men: Juice Terry, the work-shy fanny-merchant, with corkscrew curls and sticky fingers; Billy the boxer, driven, controlled, playing to his strengths; Carl, the Milky Bar Kid, drifting along to his own soundtrack; and the doomed Gally, who seems to find catastrophe at every corner.

Story
Azzy Williams is ready. Ready to smoke, pop pills, drink wine and ready to fight. But most of all, he’s ready to do anything for his friends, his gang, his young team. Round here, in the schemes of the forgotten industrial heartland of Scotland, your mates, your young team - they’re everything. Azzy Williams is 14; a rising star, this is his life, and he loves it. Azzy Williams is 17; he’s out of control. Azzy Williams is 21; he’d like to leave it all behind. But a way out isn’t easy to find....

Story
Dans la sombre Édimbourg des années 1990, Renton le malin, Sick Boy l'ambitieux, Franco le sociopathe, Spud l'égaré et Tommy l'innocent partagent tout : les petites combines, l'assurance-chômage et la drogue, sous toutes ses formes. Entre deux pintes, après un fix ou une baston, ils racontent la violence d'un quotidien misérable dominé par la rage. Une rage qui les anime tous. La rage de vivre.

Story
Born into a working-class Glaswegian family in the summer of 1961, TENEMENT KID begins in the district of Springburn, soon to be evacuated in Edward Heath's brutal slum clearances. Leaving school at 16 and going to work as a printers' apprentice, Bobby's rock n roll epiphany arrives like a bolt of lightning shining from Phil Lynott's mirrored pickguard at his first gig at the Apollo in Glasgow.

Story
The war on drugs has been lost but for want of the courage to face the fact that the whole world is rapidly becoming one vast criminal network. From pop stars and princes to crack whores and street kids. From the Groucho Club toilets to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, we are all partners in crime.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dead Men's Trousers by Irvine Welsh, read by Tam Dean Burn.
Mark Renton is finally a success. An international jet-setter, he now makes significant money managing DJs, but the constant travel, airport lounges, soulless hotel rooms and broken relationships have left him dissatisfied with his life. He's then rocked by a chance encounter with Frank Begbie, from whom he'd been hiding for years after a terrible betrayal and the resulting debt. But the psychotic Begbie appears to have reinvented himself as a celebrated artist and - much to Mark's astonishment - doesn't seem interested in revenge.
Sick Boy and Spud, who have agendas of their own, are intrigued to learn that their old friends are back in town, but when they enter the bleak world of organ harvesting, things start to go so badly wrong. Lurching from crisis to crisis, the four men circle each other, driven by their personal histories and addictions, confused, angry - so desperate that even Hibs winning the Scottish Cup doesn't really help. One of these four will not survive to the end of this audiobook. Which one of them is wearing Dead Men's Trousers?
Fast and furious, scabrously funny and weirdly moving, this is a spectacular return of the crew from Trainspotting.

Well Worthy
Great to see the boys back together again, loved the start and how it takes off from the end of 'The Blade Master'. An unrealistic moment or two take away from the general theme (I don't want to blab) but otherwise great. Tam Dean Burn keeps us energised and awake for too long :)

A phenomenal romp with some old friends.
Starts with a bang. Gruesome and hilarious. I didn't want it to ever come to an end

What a beautiful nostalgic ride
The narration was superb as usual (Tam Dean Burn) and Irvine Welsh continued to entertain and inspire me with the old Leith crew. Nothing short of superb Irvine, you are a master

Fecking brilliant!
This story shows the philosophy and intelligence of the Scots. I’m broken and enlightened; if this tale doesn’t affect you then you’re lost.

Couldn’t stop listening
Another jaunt with the trainspotting team in devilishly divine territory. Couldn’t resist listening to this in huge binges. Grisly, gross, funny and at times improbable but it’s great to have an unexpected trip with the trainspotting folks once more.

Great Conclusion
The narration was excellent.
The actual story - well, it's a damn sight better than the 'Blade Artist' but no as good as the original. but then that's to be expected, ey?

The goods
Irvine Welsh is a master story teller and his ability to make the most bizarre and twisted scenarios hilarious and believable is on full display with this book.
Welsh does not create characters with his writing, but real people with real flaws and emotions and consciousness.
This was the first audiobook for me and it took me a while to get used to the changing accents and delivery, especially as Trainspotting is a movie so the characters didn’t sound like I hear them when I read them in a proper book.
The reader was especially amazing with first person Spud and Begbie, and overall captured the essence of the essence of all the characters. I think any criticism of the performance is more about me than of them.
I laughed, I howled, I cried, and I was left with the sadness you get when an epic story full of tension is resolved.
Much thanks to both author for the story and reader for the delivery.
I enjoyed every second and word.
