I grew up around meth users, so I was particularly interested to see the trend from the outside: A famous-in-his-own-world dad chronicling the tragedy of his son's addiction.

It's safe to say their lifestyle was a tad different from the one I knew. But it was no less horrifying.

Though criticized for bringing "nothing new" to the addiction genre, I liked viewing the story from the dad's perspective. He never quite got all that was going on, and yes, he put himself front and center in his son's drama. As well all do -- the only point of view we can have is our own.

Can't wait to read the son's take on the same story.
