Recensione:

"A very impressive book, all the more so because of its remarkable calm and
restraint after such a terrifying experience." -Penelope Fitzgearld

"Ann Marlowe is a. . .relentless moral essayist and a secret poet. Her book burns as it goes down one's craw, and it keeps burning in memory." --Luc Sante

"A self-portrait of a coolly cantankerous woman, reformed but unrepentant."--The New York Times

"The little black dress of dope books. Smart, sleek and savagely subtle, Ms. Marlowe is the most gifted druggie to pop out of Harvard since the late Timothy Leary."--Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

"A self-portrait of a coolly cantankerous woman, reformed but unrepentant." --The New York Times
