I tend not to take Oprah's suggestions as gospel, but my book reading club chose this as January's publication. Holy cats. So powerful.
If you can get over the author's complete lack of the usage of quotation marks, this book pulls you deep, deep, drowning deep, until you are up gasping for air and looking at the clock realizing you've just spent hours ensconced in this man's life.
This courageous confessional of a book is heart-rending, eye-popping, and sincere. If you have ever been an addict, or known an addict, this book will ring true. Even if you have never encountered one, you will understand one better than you could imagine after reading this missive.
Go. Read it. Go.
Time took to read: one evening (fast!!)
