Q: Racist Classist Megalomaniac Talks A Little About Heroin . After hearing some decent things about this book, I was surprised at just how uninteresting and often offensive of a read it turned out to be.  Marlowe is accurate in some of her depictions of heroin use in the East Village of New York and way off base in others.  I chalk this up to everyone's experiences being different (however, I certainly don't think a one-bag-a-day habit with weeks off in between makes her an authority on addiction by any stretch of the imagination).  What I don't understand is why she felt the need to go into such great detail about her rather boring life between her discussions of the dope world.  Most of her anecdotes had little to no bearing on the story she was trying to tell and were mind-numbingly dull.  I found her narrative to be very disjointed and incoherent.  But what I found most repugnant was her better-than-thou attitude towards those of a lower class or darker skin tone (e.g. assuming dark-skinned men who didn't think to aspire to become more than security guards must not have gotten support or affirmation in their homes growing up, like she did).  She herself says that she became interested in street-life and street people in order to increase her "coolness" factor.  Sure she dabbled in drug use and in the East Village culture, but that does not make her an authority, and she does not paint a very true portrait of either.  If you want a good portrayal of street life and heroin use from the inside, read Seth Morgan's Homeboy.  If you want elitist drivel, this book should do the trick

Q: Shocked.  Stunned.  Horrified. . I realize that Patterson is known for his exciting, page-turning reads.  I realize that he is famous for the relentless pace of his novels.  And, most importantly, I realize that he is famous for stunning twists at the endings of lots of his books.    Keeping all that in mind, I have to say that I was shocked and hurt by the, well, absolutely horrifying surprise ending to this book.  To say it came at me out of left field would be a massive understatement.  It's more like I was standing at home plate in Dodger stadium and was hit by a ball thrown from left field in Yankee Stadium.  Truthfully, I never saw it coming.  And I was horrified by it.  I finished the last pages with my mouth hanging open.    And I feel betrayed as well.  I realize that twist endings happen often, especially when it comes to Patterson, but I DID NOT LIKE this one.  I felt hurt by it.    Putting that aside, it was a good read overall, which is why I give it 2 stars instead of one

Q: The BEST book on chronic pain I've found. . I've lived with chronic pain for 2 1/2 years as a result of a car accident  which left me with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.  This book addresses  issues that apply to all kinds of chronic pain.  It is practical and easy  to understand.  I've bought many, many books on chronic pain, and this is  by far the best.  I believe this approach to living with chronic pain is  realistic, positive and allows the sufferer to make the most of his/her  life.  The book relates very well to the psychological effects of living  with chronic pain.  This physical and psychological program allows the  sufferer to take back control over his pain and his life.  If you or a  loved one suffer from chronic pain, this book is a must
