Review:

Well worth reading, a unique glimpse into 19th century life and drug use.

Starts out well, gets rapidly pretentious, and then rambles on quite oddly for the last bit.

Reminded me of ESVM and her copious amounts of drugs consumed.

The story is told with personal conviction, but never descends into vulgarity, and is not overly moralizing.

This book made me want to: get a taco
