Customer Reviews

A worthwhile read - By: Phillers, 04 Oct 2007
It is astonishing that someone so addled by substance & excess can fashion such an elegant & worthwhile read.Honest from start to finish,the pages are peppered with numerous quips & whips,from
bizarre trips through France by freight train to dropping acid & visiting his mother,this book is nothing short of miraculous.As someonein the grips of such experiences to this very day,this book really resonated.And notin a heavy handed,un-hip kind of way,butin a very bashful,approachable manner.A joy.
Brilliant writing - By: M. Walker, 24 Jul 2007
This book is subtitled 'Notes from the Slippery Slope.' But it is so much more than 'notes'. It is superbly evocative of the highs & the lows, the good, the bad & the ugly of drugs & the mental instability that either results from, co-incidentally exists with, or led to, the excesses of drug-taking described. The story will be easily recognised by anyone who has been in, or watched someone else in, a similar boat on a similarly turbulent sea.
But it is the quality of the writing that makes this book stand well clear of other 'My Drug Nightmare' stories. Read it, laugh, weep & keep clean.
