The reason this book gets as high as 3 stars for me is Perry’s honesty about his struggle with addiction. It’s a sobering book to read post-mortem, especially to know that Perry had so many hopes for his future life. Otherwise, the book falls short. As many have pointed out- the timeline is unclear and jumps around a lot and the book is overall repetitive. Aside from Perry’s addiction, I didn’t get much from the other parts of the book. The writing was poor and utilizes a lot cliches. Also he makes several medical claims that are quite unfounded or out of date- I.e. about suboxone, tobacco treatment and mental health and addictions treatment overall.
