Mehh, it's very fanciful, it doesn't really show the nastier sides of heroin like Trainspotting

Edit: My personal recommendations for Robbins' (aside from what you're reding now, which I think is also one of his better novels) are Cowgirls..., Jitterbug Perfume, and Still Life With Woodpecker.
If you want to take on an immensely challenging read, pick up Half Asleep in Frog Pagamas. It's written entirely in 2nd person!

I just bought that today for like a quarter, I hope it's good
