Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.

5.0

I wish I had read this before I saw the movie. I loved both. I was leaning towards 4 stars when I finished the book, but I haven't been able to get it out of my mind so I have to go with 5. I think it has my favorite Preface and Forward of any book I have ever read, and that actually added a lot to my experience of the book.
