I don’t usually leave written reviews because I don’t have a whole lot to say about many of the books I read, but this book was fantastic. It went into so much detail about how drugs began and addiction worldwide, illegal drugs and legal drugs, how the younger are affected and the elderly are affected and the families… He talks about recovery, and how the brain is affected by addiction. it really is just an amazing book that everyone needs to read to be informed about since drug addiction is such a huge epidemic in our world and will never go away. But if people are informed of what’s really going on and how you can be there for someone struggling with addiction or what you can do for yourself if you’re struggling then there’s just more hope for the world. Amazing stories that are tragic about how drugs have ruined so many lives, stories that will bring a tear to your eye. This book will inspire you to be a better person and to encourage others. If you are one of those people that judge addicts and treat them as less I think this book will open your eyes to a different perspective. Which is what we need.
