Recensioner i media
"Beautifully measured and adroitly paced ... mixing a matter-of-fact eye for detail with just enough emotion to unsettle and engross ... Addictive and masterful" -- Julian Hall The Independent "A gripping, graphic memoir that pounds relentlessly to its climax" The Times "It has the power and precision of the best contemporary fiction. It does what the best writing always does, which is to make Clegg's experience part of your own" -- Andrew O'Hagan "It's a remarkable achievement when a writer can evoke the most desperate episodes of addiction with the unflinching honesty required to make such a memoir worth reading, yet somehow manage to completely transcend sleaze, sordidness and vapid self-justification. Bill Clegg's story of a man - largely locked in hotel rooms, engaged in a desperate, heart-wrenching battle with himself - is destined to become a cult classic of writing on drug addiction" -- Irvine Welsh "Beautifully written and elegantly frank... lyrical, funny and shattering" -- A.L.Kennedy
