How many of you have read ‘A Million Little Pieces’ by James Frey? I read it, and I know that there was huge controversy with the book but the bottom line for me, was the ability of James to kick his addiction.
‘The Million Rand Teaspoon’ is very similiar, it is a story on addiction. Paul Batemans true story on how he became addicted to pinks, and heroin. The road to destruction and how he eventually came to an abrupt halt on his downward spiral.
It is extremely readable, set in and around Cape Town and Joburg, it makes you realise how much goes on that we are not aware of.
I recommend this book to anyone who is in any interested in the effect drugs have on a person, and the lives that are affected around the person. It is sad, and just makes one realise how addiction takes control of ones entire life.
shoo, hardcore reading but brilliant!
