The desire to learn more about the psychology of drug addiction compelled me to pick up this gut wrenching, nausea inducing trip into the dark underbelly of the Scottish heroin scene. The book, which is actually a series of vignettes narrated by different characters who engage in self-destructive behaviors, is filled with incomprehensible Scottish vernacular that makes reading this a challenge in itself. While no doubt an accurate, unflinching examination of drug addiction; the constant use of slang is a distraction. Heed my warning and steer clear of this one. I wish I had!
