A quick Novella about the life and times of a narcotics addict. An insight into another world and if you wanted to understand all the lingo on the streets this book includes a glossary to cover of many phrases.

My favourite is Stool Pigeon which was sung by Kid Creole and the Coconuts released back in 1982.

Overall not a bad average read and well put together for a short story.

Mark  Porton It's always good to walk in the shoes of another hey Graham - the beauty of books, nice write up mate.


Graham “Smell the Ink” Agree Mark, it’s the only way we could possibly try to understand other peoples experience’s and situations. I think that’s why books can become an addiction too.
