Helpful Score: 2

Though it is now considered a work of fiction, this book describes a very real situation which many face every day. Addiction shows its' very ugly face all throughout the book with the narrator's flashbacks and his thoughts show just how deep in one's mind the need for drugs roots itself. The body no longer craves the drug as a desire, but as a necessity to function. It is sad to see just how low the narrator has fallen within the first pages, but he engages the reader with every detail he spills. One grows to cheer for the narrator and want to see him succeed because of how genuinely human he truly is. A good read about someone who gets in over his head,falls, and pulls himself up with arrogance that hides true feelings of guilt and self hatred. How does one grow to love oneself, or begin to tolerate oneself?..
