I watched the movie going in blind and I was captivated by Christiane's story, though the movie does not really leave the ending clear, so when I found out it was based on a memoir I got it immediately. This book really made clear the struggles of a person addicted to heroin and the way that they wanted to quit but being unable to do so for so long. Christiane was a little annoying at times but I couldn't even begin imagining feeling the way that she did with her addiction. Definitely a must-read.
