thedevster 's review for:
i felt david’s grief, frustration, love and hopelessness all throughout this entire book. this heartbreaking yet hopeful narrative of a fathers love and despair for his son and his meth addiction opened my eyes to how addicts affect their surroundings. david did a spectacular job at seamlessly blending his narrative and research together. i felt myself going through david’s emotions as i read this book. david essentially descending into an obsessive desperate state as he scrambled for anything that would save his sons life. despite this particular narrative of meth addiction and how it infected this families life, it makes me think of meth addicts, or any addicts for that matter, that do not have the support system that nick did. david bent over backwards at times for his unconditional love for his son, but it just makes me overwhelmingly sad for addicts that don’t have access to the resources that nick did. who is forcing them into rehabs? who is talking to scientist all over the country for them? who is worrying about them?
despite my questions this book was amazing, i would suggest this to anyone. this story of pain and healing, is healing for the reader too. and the research that david has dumped into this book will give you some knowledge and stats that will swim in your brain for days.
