5.0 out of 5 stars Dopefiend, 6 Sep 2002

By	Mr. Clarence A. Mckenzie (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To read this book, certain things are required. Such as: an open mind and a strong stomach! Out of all of Goines' novels, this is the most hard hitting and the the one that all people should read without delay.
...Goines vividly bought to life just how wretched the existence of a drug
addict is and how fast human dignity can be stripped away from a
person.
Goines has always been one of black america's most underrated
talents because of the brutal depiction of life in the ghetto,
and the total lack of optimism in his endings. But as most people
will tell you life does not usually have a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT BOOK******, 6 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dopefiend (Paperback)

Dopefiend, was a excellent book, Its so addictive, you are truly living the scene, this book was sooooooo good...It's a "classic" Donald Goines puts you in "his world" the inner city life. It's written in the "raw" true to the game. You can't put it down. I thought this was the best one out of all of the other books written by Donald Goines

5.0 out of 5 stars Heironymous Bosch on Dope, 7 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dopefiend (Paperback)

A brilliantly written and pitiless look into the mind and behavior of the dopefiend. Not a social commentary and neither is it trolling for sympathy. This is as bad as the human condition can get without the characters being afflicted with a cruel and/or psychotic predisposition to begin with. Find your way past the first chapter and you will feel yourself plunging ahead, sucked along by the inevitability of a powerful monster force. It is a great narrative.
