Trainspotting is okay. Filth is better. The Acid House is his best. Probably my favorite short story collection. All in all, a lot of people perceive him as an edgy unconventional writer with a single gimmick, but the truth is he has some of the best, biting prose I've read.

Like Filth very much but I thought the whole reveal at the end was very weak/fight club want to be. Feels almost like it came from an era of WHOA TWISTS because it was integral to the formula.
