Ok so I was looking 4 a very gritty street read, & I saw the movie so I fig'd the book'd b bttr, I got half way thru it so far & sadly I'm disappointed. He (J.Carroll) is VERY young in it,13-17,& I've been reading more about childhood sh!ts n giggles, than I hav drug related experiences. I'm not saying he isn't a talented writer,but if u want a hard drug experience read, maybe try anthr book.
