A truly loathsome father and despicable husband, Warren's tale is important only in that it underscores everything you feared a life of addiction would lead to. A difficult book to read on every level.<br/><br/>The most poignant line comes from his son Jordan: "No one with a decent circle of friends could have gotten away with what my dad got away with". Nothing more need be said.<br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/311371?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
