review 1: Interesting enough story written from the eyes of a son with a drug runner/dealer dad that seemed to only care about the next score. Periodically the dad would come in the picture, I think to ease his conscience but he was not a father he was more concerned about moving the next big load. Quite the life his dad led very big in the underworld but I thought small as a man. Didn't think it was well written or flow well, maybe because it was from a son's perspective and difficult to be just a writer.
review 2: I read this for a book club. This was an interesting book about pot smuggling during the 70's and 80's. At times it was confusing to figure out the order of the events, but then I just decided that it wasn't really relevant to the point of the story. As a chi... moreld of the Reagan era, it made me realize how much my views on drugs were shaped by the administration. In this book, the author points out that for most pot smokers it isn't a gateway drug, but then most of the characters in this book didn't limit themselves to that particular drug. less
