Amazing, eye-opening, frightening book. The thought kept occurring to me as I was reading this book: There but for the grace of God go I. In other words, throughout the whole book I realized it could easily been me if my life circumstances were different or if I were born in a different place. It's a terribly depressing thought. That's the power of this book - even though the whole world of meth was completely foreign to me when I started the book, I realized how simply and easily meth took over these people's lives. The social issues surrounding it are tough and confusing. The economic issues that go hand in hand with meth are frustrating and sad. Governments have failed these people. Pharmaceutical companies have failed these people. It is like the perfect storm conspiring to keep meth as the huge problem it really is.

I highly recommend this book - but it will give you the chills.
