The displayed topic: drug addiction, does not fascinated me. But I ended up not let me try this book, because it's supposed to be a cult book. I have not hung too. It's not as shocking as what I expected, far from it, I would say that it has not aged well. The style of the author, quoting us all is convoluted names or nicknames of any particular caid, dealer or drug dealer (to the point where it is sometimes completely lost), feels the move of the 40 .. . it could do so, but no, I missed the book. Maybe others will appreciate, so I put all the same three stars, because I recognize that the novel has qualities (be it as a witness), but they do not reach me.
