Title: Blatant (...)
Product review: Whoa boy, did this book stink! Do not read this under any circumstance! It took only an evening to read and I want that evening of my life back. The blurb says this book is "based" on the diary of a 15-year-old girl, which is in my opinion an obvious gimmick and hoax. The whole "harrowing progression into the mad world of addiction" is a severe cliche. It follows the formula of a made-for-TV movie or an afterschool special. Don't get me wrong, there are some realistic touches, and in general it's a well-constructed piece of (...) It has the opposite intended effect--I think it's this kind of piece that turns kids ON to drugs...at least the ones intelligent enough not to be condescended to.
