This book came to the attention of the nation through Oprah, who thought it was fabulous. However, when she discovered that parts of this memoir were fictional, she had a fit, brought the author back onto the show, and read him the riot act. I thought that it was an amazing first book, WAY out there, a report back from the depths of drug addiction. I assumed that some of it was invented, only because it was so wildly fantastic at times. The reader needs to be prepared for a painful and overwhelming experience.
