About this listen
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.

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.

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?
Great Conclusion
