A great book that gives a much more in depth look than the film. The dialogue can be difficult to read as it's written phonetically in the thick scottish accent but once you get used to it, it goes much faster. This edition also has a handy glossary at the end to help you out.

Great read. A few odd verbs and nouns scattered here and there, strange dialects. But, shite, bollocks to you if you can't understand me accent.

I had a real hard time with the language of the book (dialect) but if you are up for a challenge it is very entertaining.

Odd low lifes in Edinburgh...a cult sensation.
