This is a propaganda book passed off as nonfiction and written to discourage kids from doing drugs. I know a lot of people had a connection to the book and that it did impact some growing up so that's why I don't want to rate it. I'm an adult with a whole lotta life experience and it's not a book that was written for me. I do feel it's more antiquated at this point because fear tactics are not the best way to discourage drug use in teens, so it's not something that I would ever give to my kids to read. I understand now why my library does not have a physical copy of this book available.
