About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read the seminal bestselling novel that changed the face of British fiction and inspired Danny Boyle's film.

'The best book ever written by man or woman... Deserves to sell more copies than the Bible' Rebel Inc

Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fuckin junk food intae yir mooth. Choose rotting away, pishing and shiteing yersel in a home, a total fuckin embarrassment tae the selfish, fucked-up brats ye've produced.
Choose life.

Only author I read, have almost all his books and working on audio now. This would be the third time read and I'm still hearing things I didn't notice before.
