Amazon.com description: Product Description: Edimburgo, inicios de los '80. Renton se siente orgulloso de ser el primer miembro de su familia que accede a la universidad y mantiene una estable relacion con su novia, pero cuando muere su hermano deficiente se desmorona. Spud pierde su trabajo en una empresa de mudanzas y su estabilidad salta en mil pedazos. Sick Boy crece en un protector y opresor universo femenino como un nino mimado y acabara convertido en el supremo manipulador del sexo opuesto. Y Begbie puede parecer un chico listo que sabe moverse en las calles, pero su caracter extremadamente agresivo e impredecible deja intuir que su mente es la de un psicopata. / Renton is proud to be the first member of his family to go to University in Edinburgh at the beginning of the 80s. He is also maintaining a stable relationship with his girlfriend; but when his disabled brother dies his life falls apart. Spud loses his job in a removal company and his stability explodes into a thousand pieces.
