Review This should be in schools, in rehabs, and available to teens and parents. It is not subtle and nor should it be. This is a horrible disease and crisis in our world today and something needs to be done. I hope this book helps. Wonderful work, Mr. Hendley! I pray it reaches the right ears. Goodreads I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about this drug. LibaryThing There is very little preaching here and no talking down to anyone. What could have become an academic essay is not, all the information discussed is easily accessible to any reader and while it contains what is effectively a conclusion and future recommendation, again they are pitched so as to resonate with all.

From 1985 - 1989, he attended Trent University in Peterborough, ON, and graduated with an Honours BA in Cultural Studies.

His writing credits include The National Post, The Globe and Mail, Marketing Magazine, eye weekly, The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Journal, etc. He is particularly adept at writing about political, social and cultural issues, automotive, high-tech and business topics and health-related concerns.

Received through First Reads as a copy for review, will post shortly.-----A very readable, hard hitting book. The input from previous users gives a validity to the facts that are presented as just that. There is very little preaching here and no talking down to anyone. What could have become an academic essay is not, all the information discussed is easily accessible to any reader and while it contains what is effectively a conclusion and future recommendation, again they are pitched so as to resonate with all

A book that needed to be writen
Though I have never been addicted to anything (except perhaps caffeine) I consider myself to be a fairly well-read person with a working knowledge on the normal vices out there (gambling, nicotine addiction, alcoholism) but I was floored at the books portrayal of just how dangerous and destructive Crystal Meth is. It is in another league altogether, and the well-researched material in this book clearly conveys the drug's power to ruin almost every life it touches. I congratulate those few that are able to climb out of Meth's horrible influence, all the more reason this book's message shouldn't be ignored by anyone. "Crystal Death" should be required reading in schools.
