About this listen
When Lucy Brennan, a Miami Beach personal fitness trainer, disarms a gunman chasing two frightened homeless men, the police and the breaking-news cameras are not far behind and, within hours, Lucy is a media hero. The solitary eye-witness is the depressed and overweight Lena Sorensen, who becomes obsessed with Lucy and signs up as her client - though she seems more interested in the trainer’s body than her own.
When the two women find themselves more closely aligned, and can’t stop thinking about the sex lives of Siamese twins, the real problems start....
In the aggressive, foul-mouthed trainer Lucy Brennan, and the needy, manipulative Lena Sorensen, Irvine Welsh has created two of his most memorable female protagonists, and one of the most bizarre, sado-masochistic folies à deux in contemporary fiction.
Featuring murder, depravity and revenge - and enormous amounts of food and sex - The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into 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.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
if they were fans of Irvine welsh then yes im sure this would appealHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
i would have preferred Lorelei king to have narrated more of the book, i struggled with Penelopes harsh and overly angry voice, which is appropriate for some of the book but feel softer tones are also neededHow did the narrator detract from the book?
Penelopes harsh and overly angry voice, which is appropriate for some of the book but feel softer tones are also neededIf this book were a film would you go see it?

a great write, a confusing title and all wrapped up too quickly after investing so much time in the read.Unusual
