The Boys Are Back In Town
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by the_mad_cabbie

Advantages: A cracking good read.
Disadvantages: A bit hard for non-Scottish readers to understand.

...required capital to finance the porno project, one of which involves relieving hundreds of Glasgow Ranger’s football fans of the balances of their bank accounts, by illicitly obtaining details of their bank details and cash point pin numbers. (It’s both ingenious and totally hilarious!) Eventually the movie is completed, and is entered for a porno Film Festival, (in France) and the lads set off for sunnier climes in order to market their ... Read review

Sex Drugs and Videotape
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by sandrabarber

Advantages: Seamless sequel, hilarious
Disadvantages: Dialect

...movie and Sick Boy’s lover. Thus Porno moves us largely away from the heroin world and into that of the sex industry as the movie ‘Seven Rides for Seven Brothers’ is made. But don’t think this means we get no drugs in Porno – sick Boy’s got a voracious cocaine habit, Nikki’s a doper, Begbie likes a bit of ching himself and Spud can’t say no to anything. On a trip to Amsterdam, Sick Boy finds himself face-to-face with Rents and immediately puts ... Read review

PORN
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by proxam

Advantages: Some great comic moments and a nice twist in the end
Disadvantages: Not as good as trainspotting

...another get-rich-quick scheme. Before reading Porno though, it would probably help to have read TRAINSPOTTING and/or GLUE. Porno is a direct sequel to Trainspotting, bringing back virtually all the characters from some ten years earlier, and adding some of the characters from Glue into the mix, most notably "Juice" Terry Lawson and Rab Birrell. Porno will lack a great deal of depth, resonance and familiarity for readers not acquainted with the characters ... Read review

Welsh - Back to his Best
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by The_Murf

Advantages: You already know the characters
Disadvantages: Can you handle another instalment?

...but overall quite similiar. Porno keeps these characters but they are not in the story a great deal. Welsh keeps up his unorthodox style by having each chapter narrated by a different character which overlaps other chapters. Very similiar to the film Jackie Brown by Quinton Tarantino but not going back in time as much. The plot is set a couple of years in the future from where Trainspotting left off. I'm not too keen to tell you the complete ... Read review

Pornographically good
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by deenie80

Advantages: Great insight to what these characters we love to hate have been doing
Disadvantages: you'll be up all night not being able to put this down

I brought this book after watching Trainspotting, I love the dialogue at the end, The Choose life one, when it suddenly occured to me that Irvine himself but be an alright sort of writer. After trawling all the bookshops for Trainspotting and not being patient enough for it to be delivered I decided to buy Porno, the sequel. I can honestly say this book changed my life, Welsh's depiction of how different personalities work, what makes them tick, what ... Read review

Scots boys on the scam again
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by LynH

Advantages: Find out what happened to the boys after 'Tainspotting'!
Disadvantages: Scottish dialect is occasionally difficult to follow at times

Wonderful! I'd often wondered what had happened to the likes of Renton, Simon, Spud & co following the scorching climax to 'Trainspotting'! We find the boys reunited several years later, where Simon is trying again to make it big, this time in the sleazy world of porn. Renton has been in hiding in Amsterdam since running off with the money, and Spud is attempting to do someting worthwhile with his life.. Welsh has reacquainted me with some of ... Read review

porno - the boys are back!
Review of Porno - Irvine Welsh by bigghair

Advantages: all the boys from trainspotting are back
Disadvantages: not as good as trainspotting [how could it be]

Porno is the sequel to trainspotting [one of the best drugs books ever written [right up there with junkie and fear & loathing in las vegas],most of the characters from trainspotting make an appearance and some from glue [juice terry,lawson] are also present although this book can be read without reading trainspotting and glue,but to get the best from the book you should read them both. characters = renton - the thinking articulate junkie ...
