Review: Raw Authenticity at its Finest!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 13, 2014
Not at all tempted by or touched by the drug scene, I picked up this book because I am an honest enough and curious enough person not to judge, but to seek understanding of something very foreign to me. This book provided me with an incredible feast of things to think about and a host of new emotions to feel and explore.The voice of the author is as authentic and joltingly honest as I’ve ever read. At first, I was shocked by many of the topics and situations the characters walked me through and the wide array of topics the author covers, from dysfunction, to drugs, to abuse.  The author’s writing style is engaging and raw, completely non-traditional and not at all cliché. The author wrote this book her way, which is a work of art in itself and consistent with the types of topics covered:  jaunty, but delicate; multi-faceted with a singular driver of need and longing.My only advice to you when you read this book is this: finish it. Wait until the end, until you’ve read all, and then spend a few days letting the author’s wisdom sink in before deciding how you feel about this book. And by all means, if you’ve ever wanted to understand dysfunction and why a large component of society is the way it is, read this book.I give this book a hearty 5 stars for its bravery in beautifully and honestly sharing a story many of us would rather turn our eyes from. Well done.
