Neal Shusterman and Jarrod ShustermanRoxy

I recommand you have a liste with all the drugs name while reading this book! It help me understand the book, that by the way is SO SO GREAT!!!!!

Eloquently written with amazing craft.I am not a fan of books relating to drug abuse or "that time I got high" type of stories, but Shusterman (and Shusterman) have done it again! They have taken a topic I don't much care for and used their brilliance to make it different, memorable, and emotional.The drug personification is such an interesting take on how addiction holds people, the characters are all extremely well developed, and the secret messages are excellent. The interludes are interesting snippets of other drugs that may or may not pertain to the core story (oh that interlude 6....ohh....).I had to revisit chapter 1 after I finished the book, and my heart was pounding with sad satisfaction at the end. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Es ist ein schönes Buch. Sie haben es in der Schule empfohlen. Es fallen keine Versandkosten an.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. As a high school teacher who has watched too many teens travel the road these characters are on, I can tell you this book was both terrifying and unbelievably authentic. If you have teens in your life, read this...and have them read it too. I have loved every Shusterman book I've ever read, but this one is special. It has power to open up eyes to a very evil temptation.

This book was really good. And I really didn't enjoy it. As someone who has lost people both literally and figuratively to drugs, it was a hard read.Ivy and Isaac are brother and sister. And one of them is going to die.Isaac starts taking oxy for an injury. Ivy starts taking Adderall with the hopes that if she can focus, she can graduate high school on time. Roxy and Addison, the drugs manipulating their brains, are in a competition to see who can take their patient to the VIP room first.This book was interesting and educational and tragic. The drugs are their own characters. And you get to know how they work and why they can make you do the things you do. They give a name to that voice inside your head that tells you what you should and shouldn't be doing. It could be Roxy or Addison. Or maybe it's Al(cohol) or Mary Jane or Lucy (in the sky with diamonds).It gives you insight in to the struggle of the addicted and why the pull is so strong.I've read a lot of books that I didn't want to end. But this was the first time that I didn't want to know how one ended.
