The beautifully stark poetical prose (2 more)
The spectrum of emotion through which the reader follows the author
A plot that could go in any direction
Brutally honest
There is a wealth of literature about drug addiction, alcoholism and recovery out there. Most of it seems contrived and tries much too hard to preach to the reader about the awfulness of addiction and the
redemptive process of recovery. I find most of these hard to stomach. There is nothing contrived about this work. It tells it as it is. The author is neither trying to shock nor preach. This autobiographical novel is written in a stark prose which allows the horrors and joys of the story to speak for themselves. The comedy is deepest black as is the despair. The story is filled with wonderful and terrible characters and events. I wanted to read it straight through but had to stop to rest and sleep.
