4.0

Raw, emotional, and dramatic this book is an intense look at the ramifications of addiction on one's life, and how often we end up victims of our own design. From the opening of the book, the narrator is never meant to be loveable or sympathetic, but rather a raw look at addiction through the eyes of a clueless, entitled kid.

Not really sure how I felt about this book, but I can’t stop thinking about the line:  

“Days came like dead moths on the bathroom counter.”

Will probably reread eventually.

1.0

This book just felt unnecessary. Like, the whole way through, I was just thinking "that could have been cut". It was just BORING. And the

bank robbing

only happened right at the end. Good idea, not very well executed. So poorly excuted, in fact, that it's just a plain bad book in general.
