Thanks for this excellent review, but this is not my cup of tea. I am in trauma of drugs, and drug addicts. I prefer any other genres, no matter how boring, as long as it's free from anything related to drugs.The drug use is heavy, the language is profane, and the point of view is invaluable for anyone who is looking to understand what an addict is struggling with as they habitually abuse their bodies and minds. This is not a book for the shrinking violet or the easily offended. This is a book for anyone who is struggling with addiction, in recovery, or who cares about someone in the grips of drug addiction. I give Warren’s Finest 4 out of 4 stars. Everyone has something to learn by reading this book.
This is a great bend, mind you. You didn't mention any grammatical error, but the random capitalization, bold and italicized fonts are really annoying. What you did is a combination of track and field with hurdles and crawls.

Oh jeez. D: That would drive me crazy. I hope a later edition of the book is a little less formatting-happy, because the story itself sounds really interesting.CommMayo wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 15:22I understand that the author was trying to show emphasis with his font choices, however it was just distracting. One page could have text that was normal, bold, ALL CAPPS, BOLD ALL CAPS, italics, larger font in italics, completely different font, bold, and in italics.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 07:49 I think this book may provide inside information about the hard life of a drug addict and how did he end up in that. What is with the multiple fonts and bolding words? As you mentioned that the author has used it to emphasize, don't you think it's good? If it is not, then how so? Thanks for the review, I think I will enjoy this book.
Visually, it was like a Rorschach test and made the book seem a bit unpolished. It took away from the great writing because it was so distracting. The words should speak for themselves without needing excessive formatting changes for emphasis.
