Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic by Sam Quinones

4.0

I did really like this book and found it fascinating and horrifying to learn of how black tar heroin became so easily acquired due to big pharma's push of the non-addictive oxycontin. My one beef with it is that it got a little repetitive for me at times and thus sometimes it seemed to move a little bit slower (I found myself thinking 'haven't I heard about this already?" a few times). All that being said - still a really great and sad read.
