Dead Men's Trousers by Irvine Welsh
4.5
It is definitely not my favourite book of the 'series', but it is far from a dislike, as well.
Each of these books offers something else. Trainspotting offers the carefree youth and vigor mixed with distrust and drugs. Porno had that 10 years later conflict that was soaked in revenge and hatred that kept the tension up. The Blade Artist was practically a character study on grown Begbie. This one offered something akin to stability, almost, but mostly setting things straight.
It did make me cry, I'll admit to that, on a few occasions and for different reasons.
