Summary: Masterful, readable and real addiction advice
Review: As an addiction counselor, I've read many self-help books about addiction. Cool, hip & sober is my favorite so far because of the question and answer format, the down to earth approach of the author and the believable, heart felt stories and examples of the pain and suffering of the addict and everyone around them, as well as the tough, but doable triumphs of recovery.

Summary: Bert H. from (currently) Sacramento
Review: I found this well-written book easy to read and to understand. The straight-to-the-point real-life examples seem to answer my questions completely. The narative flows along smoothly while making the points. If a person didn't get it the first time, the subsequent narrative of other people's situations and outcomes gives them another chance to do so. I know a few people who will benefit from reading this book and will be thanful to Mr. Manville for writing it.

Summary: Does not read like a self-help book
Review: My family has a long history of addiction and I've been exposed to a lifetime of books, programs, literature and advice on the topic. Cool, Hip and Sober is the ONLY "Self-Help" book I have ever read,(on any topic) that I didn't have to make myself read. Before any form of knowledge or experience can be helpful, it must be transmitted. Bill Manville's, Cool, Hip and Sober flows into the reader's conscious without resistence and therein lies the beauty of this book. You will want to read this book!
