Barely 100 pages in and I can see why this won the Pulitzer; it’s wonderfully crafted and narrated through the eyes of Damon. I feel like I’m riding the back of a pickup, somewhere in the middle of mountainous nowhere, listening to the f’d up life and times of someone who’s seen it all and lived to tell the tale.

Demon’s still at “rock bottom”. At 15, he’s basically a down on his luck, druggie adult who see no future.
I’m really intrigued as to how his story will end. Will he pick himself up, shake off the numerous skeletons in his closet, and finally kick the habit?

If you ever get to read this book, chapter 41 is where you might say, “worthy of the Pulitzer!”. This is where Demon lowest point begins, even though his entire life is filled with them. But this is where he becomes his mother.

Some call it addiction, some say love… fine line.

“So wise so young, they say, do never live long.
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
And if I die no soul will pity me.
And why should they since I myself
find in myself no pity to myself.”

I always tell my students that Shakespeare is EVERYWHERE!

Ok (wipes sweat from brow) here we go; this one is on the chunky side. Better be worth all the Pulitzer Prize hype!
