5 out of 5 stars Food for thought. Should be on every teenager's book list.   May 2, 2008
This is an interesting read as it covers the life of a self confessed junkie without the slightest attempt to glamourise or excuse.

The style is a little basic but, hey, this is an autobiography by someone who has spent too much time on "the wild side of life" & literary style was not high on the agenda.

Salutory lessons abound within this book & none more so than the fact that the sooner society faces up to the real problem of addiction in whatever form the better but yet there is hope as well.

Inspiring if only from the aspect of what have we done with our lives from a more privileged position?



4 out of 5 stars top notch read   May 19, 2006
 6 out of 14 found this review helpful

a good read gives you an insight how junkies / alkies can rise out the gutter and better there selves the author seemes quite genuine. Another good reason why never to try hard drugs or soft drugs for that matter.
