Description

From the number one bestselling author of Trainspotting

Meet Lucy Brennan - an aggressive personal trainer who has just become a media hero after taking down a would-be gunman in Miami.


The one witness to the daring rescue is Lena Sorensen - an overweight depressive who is becoming increasingly obsessed with Lucy...


Irvine Welsh's latest creation captures the two great obsessions of our time - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.



The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into two great obsessions of our time, personal training regimes and real estate - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.

He has written thirteen further novels, including the number one bestseller Dead Men's Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays. Crime and The Long Knives have been adapted into a television series starring Dougray Scott as Ray Lennox. Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.

Reviews
[Welsh] has never written with greater verve... This is a novel packed with energy. -- Tom Adair * Scotsman *
Shady, crazy and dark. * Shortlist *
Welsh doesn't disappoint... Bag yourself a ringside seat. -- Elena Seymenliyska * Daily Telegraph *
This is a visceral romp of a novel, a manic endorphin rush of a read that nevertheless also manages to sneak in some serious commentary on the state of American society, putting this book right up there with the best of Irvine Welsh's work. -- Doug Johnstone * Independent on Sunday *
Not only cleverly conceived but genuinely, hauntingly, transgressive. -- Sandra Newman * Guardian *
Razor-sharp prose... Both Lucy and Lena dazzle in this hugely entertaining read. -- Kevin Scott * List *
Boisterous, exuberant. * Sunday Times *
A compelling read. -- Russell Leadbetter * Glasgow Sunday Herald *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
