About this title: Moore's unforgettable account of life as a crystal meth addict--a tweaker-- chronicles a twenty-year trip that stretches from Moore's lonely childhood to the day he sits, naked, in a Los Angeles rental, hallucinating about psychorobbers while talking to a possum he's sure is God.

"This is a really eloguent memoir of addiction set in NY and LA primarily. Written by a friend and fellow former ACT-UP NY'er Patrick Moore, the book follows his path from first love through addiction and out the other side toward recovery, set in the haunts of a New York City which no longer exists. There is a scene - his first (sober) visit to the Saint - which perfectly captures the place and the period and which made me cry in nostalgia and recognition.
"I purchased this book thinking of reading about an intense journey through an addicts life. Instead, I read about a homosexual and his multiple partners. This guy does not even seem to have an addiction to Crystal Meth, but an addiction to men and the gay lifestyle.
If you want to read about a homosexuals lifestyle, this book is for you. If you are looking for a book about the life of a meth addict, this is not it."
"I'm not sure how Moore did it, but he managed to make this memoir both salacious and boring. It was just a disjointed collection of memories without any real insight into his various addictions. Also, I found his writing style to be confusing, detached, and unengaging. There are definitely more interesting addiction memoirs out there."
