This book is not an easy read. Well, it is written very well, but it is so difficult for me, a person who never used mind bending drugs ( maybe I did--alcohol?) to the extent that the characters in this story do. After the first chapter or so, I said to myself, 'why are you wasting your time reading this?', but for some reason, I stayed 'hooked' (bad choice of words, oh well) to this story and it's sad, sad characters. Some of the characters  I absolutely hated, and the others I just felt this deep sadness for. Read this book if you want to get a better understanding of unbelievable addictions. It is not your typical story. I have never read anything like this. The author must be a former drug addict, because I would guess that he knows exactly what he is talking about. But, I say more power to him for getting through it and not letting it hold on to him forever. This is an eye opening book. The feelings in this story, the actions--I have a sick feeling in my gut--are very real, and are all around us. You will look at others in a different way, wondering...No five star because I just can't...I would recommend this book, but only if you're emotionally mature. Otherwise, you're wasting your time.
