This was okay. I actually have to admit I confused William Burroughs with Augustus Burroughs. I thought this was quite informative and insightful. I learned so much about opiate addiction and I think everyone should have this level of knowledge. It's scary and really angers me that there are so many people enabling the problem. I will read other works by W. Burroughs, especially now that I know his style and can understand what I'm in for.
