Hammered: Memoir of an Addict 
Ok read - Candy was more in depth It was a very easy to read book, not much emphasis on certain events that I feel could grasp readers more. Also I get that its writing in the authors opinion as to events that happened during his H addiction - I feel some paragraphs didnt really make semse. 2.5 to 3 stars CHECK OUT CANDY THE BOOK thats gripping
Harrowing, brutal, honest and heartbreaking, this is a raw account of one man's battle against his demons aided by any fucking drug he could get his hand on. The writing is economical while being anything but dry, and it sets a cracking pace that your eyes struggle to keep up with. Each chapter makes you feel like Mike Tysons punching bag.I actually put aside another book I was very much enjoying because I simply had to know more of this confronting journey. I believe that's the biggest

Don't recommend it. Dry and not enough of how he turned his life around. Repetitive.
If you are looking for a book that sensationalizes drugs this is not the book for you.This book speaks matter of factually about life on drugs from the authors viewpoint.It is not sugar coated but rather a bleak matter of fact account of how Braun remembers the days of first trying drugs to finding himself dependent on them.The reader has gone along for a ride looking into a mirror of the life Braun lived.In my opinion Hammered is up there with H Christiane F and is definitely a book worth
Having led a rather milquetoast life, I found Mr. Braun's account quite disturbing; but I'm glad I pushed through to the end of the story...or should I say THE BEGINNING of a life of purpose and strength. I would recommend this book to all teens, young adults and mature adults who face life's challenges and temptations.
Powerful, open, and brutally honest. Braun holds up a mirror to himself and unflinchingly reports what he sees. Tough stuff, but it results in a rewarding read.
