Addiction: The high that brings you down

Overall I thought this book was very informative but more importantly, this book exemplified reality. Too often drug abuse is misinterpreted by many on account of generalized stereotypes, scare tactics and inaccurate information, this book refrained from all of the above. Also this book is directed towards the adolescent reader and as a result, puts many complicated physiological terms and processes in to comprehendable reading material (without losing or misconstruing the definition or meaning). I think this book did an amazing job at explaining the facts and consequences of drug use. This is the kind of book that should be incorporated somehow into the high school education curriculum.
