What a book! We follow Ponyboy as he fall further and further into substance abuse and self destruction. I love how well crafted it felt. It felt almost chaotic for a a while, dialogue running into one another, jumps in time and place in a way that felt so fitting for the drug-filled journey he was on. The pace and level of chaos is constanly in line with Ponyboy's state of being, and it worked so well. This is a book I'm looking forward to reading again.
