review 1: This book held my interest, but the momentum lagged in some parts. The scientific information was a good inclusion, but it became difficult to stay focused through it. I also really wish Lyon had included more of his own story in it, I felt that his demons were never fully explored within the book. I wanted to hear more about his repressed memories, dark family secrets, and questionable boyfriends. These topics seemed to not be entirely excavated. Also,the fact that he began writing the book while still an addict made the timeline confusing as he jumped back and forth in time.Nonetheless, it is an area of drug addiction that hasn't been fully explored yet, so overall it was worth reading. Lyon also has an appealingly self-deprecating voice.
review 2: Amazing! I... more initially wanted to read this book because I am a recovering prescription drug addict. I wanted to just see how others have gotten through it and broken their habit. I am really glad I read it. Not only does the Author tell his story of addiction but he also lists a lot of statistics and facts on the subject. It is mind blowing to know how many people are addicted to prescription drugs and their reasons why. The book is actually kind of educational. I personally loved it and would recommend it to anyone. less
