best drug book,
By warren bramley (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This is Heroin (Paperback)
This is one of the best drug books I've read. Loads of informed stuff about H - all of it true. And I should know. Facts and figures, but also a lot of stories too.

wrong info about shannon hoon...,
By A Customer
This review is from: This is Heroin (Paperback)
This book says that Shannon Hoon was 23 and died of a heroin overdose. That is incorrect. He was 28, and died of a cocaine overdose.

Great Smack,
By warren bramley (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This is Heroin (Paperback)
If you want to know about Horse then this book tells it all. Great stuff on the culture of candy, the celebs who use it, the dealers who sell it and the users who abuse it. Everything you ever wanted to know about H and more.
