Poppies: Odyssey of an Opium Eater

Rating:
Summary: One hit wonder, but what a hit!
Review: Poppies deals primarily with Eric's addiction to opium and his unusual way of getting it but also delves into a little philosophy and comic humor, all bound together in a very entertaining way. In portraying the horrers of addiction he conveys a sustained hopefullness that is inspiring instead of worthy of pity. I think the book is truly one of a kind.
