Review: Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like the programs where addicts can turn in their drugs in exchange for assistance with treatment. That seems like a great idea but not sure how often it would get used.
I knew this epidemic was getting big, but reading the statistics of ODs and deaths was shocking. I had no idea it was THAT bad.
It was interesting reading about the system Portugal has in place. I'm curious if that could ever work in America. It seems like it would be worth trying, considering the results they've had.

Review: The Good Lord Bird

The Good Lord Bird by James McBride
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very good book. I don't remember much about John Brown. We learned a little about him in high school history and that was about it. This added some interesting perspective to the story. Some good humor also.

Review: Mrs. Everything

Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I've read by this author. I will have to check out more of her work. She does an excellent job of weaving all the characters together while still allowing them their own rich lives and experiences.

I received a free e-galley from netgalley.com.

Review: The One Peaceful World Cookbook: Over 150 Vegan, Macrobiotic Recipes for Vibrant Health and Happiness

The One Peaceful World Cookbook: Over 150 Vegan, Macrobiotic Recipes for Vibrant Health and Happiness by Alex Jack
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I had been thinking about buying this one. I'm glad my library had it so I could preview it. I don't think I'll end up buying it. The recipes look really good but a bit complicated and quite a few have ingredients I think would be harder to find. They do look good though....
