Exactly as the Book Title Says...Heroin Stories!

The book was exactly as its title suggests - a variety of numerous stories depicting the illegal narcotic street drug heroin, the many often poor life choices, and negative circumstances surrounding those addicts hooked on the drug. The various heroin addicts stories are told by different narrators, which is different and also nice, as it changes things up a bit. There's a couple of good stories in here, a few okay ones...for the better part, they are all believable to the average listener as they're factually accurate descriptions and correct information, particularly in one story I was paying close attention to. The story was told by a young sounding woman with a British accent whose name I believe was Julie, who has just "scored" some heroin and is looking for a place to get high or (as she calls it "fix"). This is when she runs into another addict named Marilyn (who happens to be a prostitute with street smarts since she's been running around the Tenderloin for so long now, so the narrator, Julie, says she trusts her) who is with some shady guy. I won't ruin it for everyone, but not only was there accurate facts throughout this story, it was also one of the more memorable ones that stuck out in the book.
