I never read the book, but I did read the preview on amazon. When I was reading it I thought it was bull shit.

"I want a drink. I want fifty drinks. I want a bottle of the purest, strongest, most destructive, most poisonous alcohol on Earth. I want fifty bottles of it. I want crack, dirty and yellow and filled with formaldehyde. I want a pile of powder meth, five hundred hits of acid, a garbage bag filled with mushrooms, a tube of glue bigger than a truck, a pool of gas large enough to drown in. I want something anything whatever however as much as I can."

That paragraph right there led me to believe it was a big load of shit. I figured it was all bull shit and now it looks like it is. I guess some stupid people actually do buy into unrealistic statements like that though.

"One of the more harrowing sections is when Frey submits to major dental surgery without the benefit of anesthesia or painkillers (he fights the mind-blowing waves of "bayonet" pain by digging his fingers into two old tennis balls until his nails crack)."

Who would actually think this shit is real?
