Review:
This is a pretty impressive book. It captures a young life with way too many twists and turns. It tries to explore the space between pure good and pure evil suggesting that nothing in life is really either. It also argues that loving a thing can enrich one's life in a good and productive way. It can also be bad. It is really, in the end, neither one and a lot of the gray space in between.
The prose is good, the conversations are really good, and the exploration of the experience of taking drugs is appropriately off-putting.
