review 1: This was not nearly as good as Sick City. This is a straight-up firsthand look at heroin addiction and the bleak tunnels in which junkies live. If this is your first novel of its kind, you'll find it honest and horrifying in a peek-through-your-fingers kind of way. If it's not, you'll realize quickly that it's been done better by others and there should be more to a novel than just shock value meant to awe the tourists. This is a junkie's diary. O'Neill generally does a great job, but this isn't his best work.
review 2: I haven't read a book in a long time that so honestly tells a story of addiction and recovery like this one does. I was intrigued with the faceless, nameless narrator; his relationship with his wife replaced intimacy with drugs, creating a ... morecuriously asexual drug-induced marriage. But as curious as the relationship was, his recovery was even more so. This book, overall, was a very engrossing read and worth every minute I spent reading it. It is a great read for anyone interested in the reality of drug use and the truth of why some people use. less
