review 1: This was a pretty typical drug rehab book. (Geez, typing that sentence made me feel a little cold-hearted but you know, read one "I almost died from using cocaine but didn't" book, read them all....) I was very impressed by the huge amounts of drugs that he did at the peak of his addiction. The part that I enjoyed about this one was the football. I am a huge Huskers fan and just reading about the glory days of the mid-90s was great. I got a little tired of Peter's maschismo by the end of this, but I have a feeling that is a big part of who he is. There were also several typos throughout the novel that annoyed me....but I am anal like that!
review 2: A freaky read on drug addiction. I could have lived without reading about all the football hype, but his addicti... moreon did begin as a result of pain pill management in the NFL. Peter opened my eyes on how the "high" will make you do the unthinkable and where you come from and what you have accomplished doesn't make any difference once drugs take over your life. Overall, an interesting read..... But not fantastic writing. less
