Irvine Welsh
Acerca de esta escucha
Irvine Welsh returns to Edinburgh, the home of Trainspotting and so many of his novels since, with a new novel featuring one of his most iconic and beloved characters - "Juice" Terry Lawson - that's thick on the Scottish brogue, heavy on the filth and masterful in its comedic timing.
A Decent Ride sees Irvine Welsh back in Edinburgh, this time with one of his most compelling and popular characters front and center: the rampaging force of nature that is "Juice" Terry Lawson, first seen in Glue.
Juice is a man who contains multitudes: He's a top shagger; a drug-dealing, gonzo porn star; and taxi driver. As we ride along in Juice's cab through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, Juice encounters a series of charmingly filthy characters, all of whom present their own, uh, unique challenges. Has he finally met his match in Hurricane "Bawbag"? Can he discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man-child Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he find out the real motives of unscrupulous American businessman and reality-TV star Ronald Checker? And, crucially, will Juice be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility, and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without...a decent ride? (The meaning of the title is starting to sink in now, huh?) So buckle your seatbelts, and prepare for one unforgettable ride.

Historia
Glue is the story of four boys growing up in the Edinburgh schemes, and about the loyalties, the experiences, and the secrets that hold them together into their 30s. Four boys becoming men: Juice Terry, the work-shy fanny-merchant, with corkscrew curls and sticky fingers; Billy the boxer, driven, controlled, playing to his strengths; Carl, the Milky Bar Kid, drifting along to his own soundtrack; and the doomed Gally, who seems to find catastrophe at every corner.

A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

They are the boys your mother always warned you about. They’re every parent’s worst nightmare. Arrogant, cocky and self-assured. They used the town of Sandland like it was their own personal playground. They didn’t follow the rules; they made their own. Most girls were drawn to them like a moth to a flame, but Emily Winters wasn’t like most girls. She represented everything they despised. The only problem was she lived her life in a perfectly orchestrated smokescreen, and where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

Not The sex lives of Siamese twins or bedroom secrets of master chefs
This one was not as easy of a listen for me as the sex lives of Siamese twins but maybe that is because I am an American. I just didn’t understand all of it but possibly it would’ve been easier reading it but still an amazing story great characters and just all-around top-notch.

absolutely brilliant!!!!!
This is such a fun story to listen to. I loved Terrys character. He's a well endowed ladies man who gets into all kinds of interesting situations. The narration is great, the story has a great pace, I haven't laughed so many times listening to an audio book, ever. Great characters, excellent dark humor, classic Irvine Welsh style.

Hilarious, sexy, witty, and raw
Irvine Welsh is far and away the best in the business of bringing Scotland or UK culture into a spellbinding story. Juice Terry reminds me of so many lads I grew up with. Spice o life to right but!!

doesn't compare to Filth
Tam Dean Burn gives an excellent performance, but the story is just lacking. Funny in places.
I'm a big fan of Welsh, but this left me a bit disappointed. No where near as clever as Filth. You probably want to read Glue to have the background of some of the characters - without having done so, I think finishing this would be tiresome.
