This book is very intense. I loved it, to be honest. It presents drug use in a realistic light, and it has a very intense feel to it. I was definitely captivated by this book. I also very much like this author.

This book helps one to see addiction from the eyes of the addict. What is so compelling, why they can't stop. If you know an addict this is a story to read to hear the story from the inside out. Very interesting. Could not put it down.
