    Spot on? hahaha :) Ashamed to say I've only seen the movie. Great one :)

  • I just Googled Trainspotting, lol! I've never even heard of it before. I have to check it out. Awesome Haiku-review! 🍩🥐

  • Haven't read the book. I think I saw the movie, but I don't remember it. Thanks for the review. I'm assuming it's about addiction, either alcohol or drugs?

    I haven't read it, but I've sold plenty. I think you hit the nail on the head. Although it might also work for Less Than Zero?
