Read in January, 2011

The book I bought had a different cover than the one shown here. I seen it on the shelf at our local bookstore and had to have it. It sounded so promising and I love a good drug memoir. However, this book most definetely did not turn out to be what I thought it would be. I had a very hard time getting into the book, however about 1/3 into the book it finally picked up for me and I devoured it. This book was more research than memoir. There was a lot of techinal terms and such that was hard for me to grasp onto. The idea was very alluring to me however and I learned much from this book. However, I was disappointed as I thought this would be a tale telling book.
