A truly remarkable book. A compelling read that has left an indelible impression. No sentiment, self pity or blame. Just an in-your-face account of a horrific life and truly remarkable and courageous redemption. Unusual but engaging style of writing. I've lent the book to my 16 year old daughter and wonder if the book shouldn't be mandatory reading in schools.

As a recovering addict, I can relate to much of the mayhem, chaos and insanity and i can certainly relate to the fear, fear, fear. I am, however, disturbed by the author's ego-fueled distain for 12-step programs. I agree that it is certainly possible to get sober and stay sober without AA--BUT a very remote and slim possibility at that. Sorta like 1 in a million--similar to the same chances one has at winning the lottery perhaps or being struck by lightening.
My concern is that because 12 step programs are a proven and THEE most successful means of getting and staying sober, i hope that those who are struggling with addiction don't think they can do it w/o a least tgiving a 12-step program a chance--it really is the best chance we have at living a life of peace and sobriety. And the author might be chemically sober but my guess is that he is a miserable ball of mess on the inside, STILL full of rage and anger, and a soul-corrupter to be around (aka DRY DRUNK). Peace.

I have not yet finished it, but I can't stop thinking about it. When I'm working or doing other things, I feel an urge get back to it. This is one of those books that pulls you in and rushes through you as quickly as you can absorb it. I will miss it when it's finished.

I just finished this book and I cannot sleep - it is 3:15 in the morning and all I can do is sit and think. Read it, now.

This book is just published in dutch. The way of writing cought me and didn't let go of me untill I finished reading the book. It was wonderfull. Touching. Frightening. Humoristic. Horrible.
This book is must to read! I think and hope it'll have a value in our society!
