A beautifully written train wreck. I blew through this in just a couple hours, because I couldn't turn away, I HAD to stay along for this terrible terrible ride.
I've known many Candy's in my life, I've lost many friends to Heroin.
I NEVER understood the appeal of this death sentence lifestyle. I wanted to get inside the mind of an addict. Well, this novel certainly was the epitome of what I was searching for as far as resolution and closure. I am proud of myself for never sinking into this lifestyle, despite many of my friends turning to Heroin to bury the pain of their hurtful pasts.
It was skin crawling uncomfortable, it was absolutely heart wrenching and disgusting, it was HILARIOUS, and I found myself keeling over in laughing fits during the craziest moments.
But there is absolutely nothing funny about this drug, this drug will encompass you and tear your life apart and then spit you out, a skeleton of who you once were.
I immediately ordered the movie. Because there is something about watching this train wreck romance, you keep hoping they will get their shit together, even when all the odds are against them, and you know there isn't a chance in hell they will leave this lifestyle unscathed.
I would read absolutely anything this author wrote.… (altro)

Really good book that gives a hard look at the life of an addict. I actually preferred the movie which usually it's the other way around. Although this book doesn't sugar coat addiction it didn't bring anything new to the table. Just another story like the other story that's like the other story. What THIS story brings that other books of this subject sometimes don't is connection to the characters.Which, IMHO, was spot on. I felt THERE at times throughout the book. Problem was I could easily set it down and pick it back up couple days later and that is not a 5 star book for me.… (altro)
