Opinion:
This was a really good book. I learned a lot about the drug industry from it. The writing was filled with information, but was still entertaining to read. The author does a good job using first person narration. The the writing got a little confusing at times, but would become clear later on. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes to read about a real issues. Some of the book is written about while the narrator is high. I thought that was kind of of cool. This book is for readers age 14 and up because of drug use and sex.
