Customer Reviews

This should be a movie!

From the start to the end, this book grabs you and holds you. It made a very scary thing like the "junkie" human and touchable. I wanted to know that this boy made it out of the nightmare that was drug abuse. So glad this man lived to tell his story. Would like to see a part 2. Want to know what happens to him.....

The real deal

This book is over 10 years old but it rings as true today as when it was first published. Forget the hyperbole and exageration of James Frey, this is straight shooting. An amazing juxtaposition of horror, pathos, and humor make the book impossible to put down. This is published as fiction, but early on you get the very uncomfortable feeling you might run into Gregory, the main character, on a city street. This is a powerful book that will stay with you long after you put it down.
