Recently (Well, the last book I read that wasn't for this class) I read Trainspotting and afterwards saw the movie. Both were truly well made and written. If you don't know what Trainspotting is, it's a novel by Irvine Welsh set in the late 80's where these crazy kids addicted to drugs try overcome their addiction (Not all of them) and they end up still getting in other forms of trouble. This book was really interesting–not only because of it's plot–but also because of the way it was written.The narrator changes almost every chapter. It was confusing at times, but it really made it a good book to read.
I thought it was really interesting because it wasn't your standard book. Like we learned in class today, Welsh has her own distinctive style. The book is essentially a bunch of short stories put together usually with different narrators for each one. I enjoyed this originality and I really liked reading it.
