About this listen

Mark Renton is a very sick young man. He's sick of heroin and sick of trying to get off it but, above all, Renton is thoroughly sick of himself. What with vampire ghost babies, exploding siblings and disatorous sexual encounters, it's pain to see why Renton gloomily contends that 'life does not get any easier'.

The writing is great. Narration is the author's and he gives a potent expressive read. Background sounds and music encroaching on the heavily accented scottish dialect rendered some of it incomprehensible. - really detracts from the experience of the spoken word.
This is the first audible book I have downloaded and I can't believe there is no chapter list, publication details component. Not one I could figure out anyway.
