Sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. But mostly drugs.

After reading the book, One Visit, I was curious to find out if this story would hold my interest a little more effectively than that one did. Unfortunately, it did not. I do, however respect the writing style of the author and find it to be quite intelligent. In my opinion, the story focuses too heavily on the drug culture and not enough on plot and storyline. For example, I wanted to be more invested in Chrissy’s pursuit of education and getting out of the drug culture, but instead, I was only left feeling disappointed. I suppose that is the point of the story. I listened to the audiobook version of this story, and like One Visit, some of the male voices for the dialogue scenes, got a little too echoey at times and the volume wasn’t consistent. All in all, just because I didn’t find this story interesting, doesn’t mean there isn’t an audience for it. For example, George Veck stories remind me of the movie Trainspotting. I didn’t enjoy that story either, but it gets an impressive 8.1/10 on IMDB with 724 thousand votes, so what do I know? Art is subjective, that’s all, I guess. This book is a good fit for those who are interested in gritty British crime dramas.
