The matter-of-fact writing here is a double-edged sword; it is incredibly authentic without every glamorizing drugs or war or moralizing about either. It feels incredibly credible. As a novel, though, its plotlessness works against it, as there is sort of a thread laid in the prologue and picked up in the conclusion - sort of. The style is great and the voice is entirely credible, but it does become repetitive without a plot that advances from pretty much where we know we're going. Worth the read, but frustrating at times.
