Had to abandon half way through
There is much to admire about this book, but not enough to encourage me to finish it. As I age, I am less tolerant of weak character. To a point I have sympathy for those that are gripped by drugs and alcohol. But that empathy evaporates in the absence of will. Too much backsliding, even in fiction, for me to finish the book. I found myself not caring if any of the characters survived. So, I quit reading.
