The book is highly informational and finds a way to make the serious facts fun but still convey their importance. The book is quick to read and puts the information is small blocks, making it easier to digest. The book covers everything from alcohol to marijuana to tobacco and lists the effects of each one. Several other drugs are reviewed throughout the book, with the highlights and the withdrawals of each drug being listed. The author makes no attempt to disguise any of the effects of the drugs, whether they are good or bad, but is definitely not sparing on the bad sides of drugs. At the end of the book the author listed reasons people do drugs, and ways to say no to drugs that are offered to you. Teens thinking about doing drugs would benefit from this upbeat and short read.

   I don't think I'm the right age demographic/maturity level for this book. I don't really think I ever was. I could see this book being helpful if you are young (<13) and maybe thinking about experimenting with drugs. I am an adult, but I still wanted to read some information as to why teens experiment, so I picked it up. This book wasn't very funny. The jokes felt forced. It didn't really teach me anything I didn't know. The basic message was, "Drugs are bad. Don't do it. Turn to Jesus instead."

It's a great message in theory, but a lot of other people are saying that and someone still dies from an overdose in my neighborhood everyday. I just didn't find it revolutionary.
