I read the book before the film came out.
Not snobbery, just chance (recommended by a friend).

The film was seminal for Danny Boyle, but could never be a patch on the book.
Much of it is written in dialect though.
It's very well written, moving, powerful. But if you can't hear the accents in your head it might turn you off. Buy a 2nd hand DVD - with subtitles - and enjoy.

Soz - back to the game.
