Reviews
Amazon Book Review
Mark Urso clearly describes the perils of addiction with quick wit and deep respect. He grabs it with his pen as if to shake it until its teeth rattle.
The reason I gave this book 5 stars is, the author doesn't mince words. He hits nails on the head on every page, including the subjects of mania and depression in his look at the "Growing Pack of Gum."
The bottom line of the message in this book, (in my opinion) is, finding the similarities in the stories of other addicts is more important than finding the differences. A brotherhood of truth in a simple program for complicated people is the answer. Finding this answer in A Candle Lit can save lives.
