Title: A great writer
Product review: It takes a great writer to write a great memoir. Only someone with a strong grasp of the language and a unique writing style can make a tale of their day-to-day life interesting. Ms. Wurtzel succeds on both levels. Some writers send most of us to the dictionary over and over to look up words that turn out to be pompous instead of necessary. When Wurtzel sent me to the dictionary it was for a perfect description of a situation.The subject matter is not pretty. Addiction is ugly, and Wurtzel shows us that. She shows us flashes of a beautiful life, interspersed with long stretches of appaling mediocrity, and peppered with periods of disgusting depravity. If you want to understand what it would be like to live as an addict-a clinically depressed addict-then you should read this book
