Cale is a mixed up man.  While he knows what is going on inside his brain he refused to acknowledge it and loses everything.  Not only that, he hurts the people who love him most.  But why?  Why is he this way?  Why can't he stop?  Why doesn't he tell someone?  These questions and more will keep the reader wanting to read until the end.I had problems identifying with the long rambling one-page sentences and the footnotes were frustrating to read around.  However, I believe it was written this way because Cale is so out of himself that he can't make sense, least of all to himself.  And the writing is good, honest and forthright.M. Thompson has done an in-depth character study that seems chillingly real.  This is an intense look at the problems of addiction, as suffered by the family and friends, as well as the person who is addicted.  If you are bold enough to pick up the book Cale is a character that will stay with you long after you put it down.
