Talk about struggles....

I will start by saying I REALLY wanted to like this book and had extremely high hopes but it honestly became a fight to finish. Even after fighting my own battles with addiction, I couldn’t find any redeeming value in the characters in this story, nor any hope or inspiration or even familiarity with them. It seemed like one big nightmare ride that just became more jumbled. True, at times, the addict’s life does seem that way but the stream of consciousness thought patterns expressed often leaned too far to the preachy side. I wish I could have enjoyed this book and I wish I could recommend it, but it just didn’t work for this reader.
