Irvine Welsh; Trainspotting continues with "Skagboys"

Unbeknownst to this column at the time of the review of "Reheated Cabbage" but Irvine Welsh is about to publish another novel later this year. Called "Skagboys" it is a prequel to Trainspotting.
Irvine Welsh’s work may not have hit the same heights as his first novel, (which this column would give 5/5) but the second in the series, Porno, would come close (receiving 4/5.) Rebel Inc. suggested that Trainspotting was “The best book ever written by man or woman...deserves to sell more copies than the Bible." No pressure then, but Skagboys is to be looked forward to.
