I think that this is a great book. if kids that do drugs and drink would read this book they will see that drugs aren't good for u and how the can really ruin your life. If it doesn't ruin your life you will have to go through a lot just to get better. this book would be great maybe it can change different lives of others. at least thats wat i think.
