Title: A Dilettante's Guide to Snorting Heroin
Review: I wholeheartedly support anyone's right to share her experience with heroin. But to act as if your experience with heroin is somehow definitive is quite arrogant and dangerous. Luckily for Marlowe, she managed a fairly recreational heroin habit. Problematically, she judges those who have much more serious habits. Hmmm...Perhaps others are more prone to addiction? She grew up economically priveleged. Should she really be so judgemental?Surprisingly, the book hasn't aged so well -- the prose style is not that compelling, although there are moments of lucidity and intelligence. Yet it is not highly readable.
Is the review positive or negative?
