I bought this book as part of my research. It can be a bit depressing for the average reader. but if you have an interest in this it is very interesting. I enjoyed it and am using it for reference. The book has short stories and pictures of the art created by the person telling each story. Very compelling.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. beautiful illustrated bookBy H. C. StronksThis is a beautifully illustrated book. Personally. the introductory text from the authors is a bit repetitive (hence a lost star). but the art is very good. The authors made a good selection of a huge collection of addiction-related art. so that its not too shocking. but still depicts the view from the affected folks themselves. or from their friends or family. Each piece of art is accompanied by a personal message from the artist.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great idea. uneven qualityBy Jana BursonI love the idea of this book - artists were asked to submit their work. giving expression to the nature of addiction and how it affects them. Some of the pieces are fabulous. memorable pieces that say more than words about a facet of addiction. And some are technically good. though disturbing. And some have no immediate discernible connection to addiction. Maybe Im a Philistine. but some of the artists explanations about how their art related to addiction had me wondering. "huh???"
