    Story Pulls At Heart Strings
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2001*

In an attempt to liven up the content of my classroom library, I have been reading several young adult novels this summer.  When I started this one, I felt that the first person narration was a little slow.  I worried that students might lose interest or become confused by the multiple narrative technique.  As I continued to read my opinion changed.  Characters started to come alive on the pages.  The world of heroin addiction was depicted in an unforgetable manner.  The images that will stick with me the longest are those of "Sunny" the innocent baby of Rob (maybe) and Lily.  Gemma describes that the baby's eyes are "glassy" and the baby is already a "junkie".  Lily uses heroin on the baby's gums when he's fussy or teething.  Also, heroin is transferred to the baby through Lily's breastmilk. Gemma remarks that "Sunny is such a good and quiet baby."  Of course he is!  He is stoned!! All the other characters chose heroin, the baby did not.  I believe that students can learn a lot from this novel (including English slang).

    CHILLING
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2008*

This book is a great read. I myself was a heroin addict for three years, but have been clean since May 10th 2003, something I got into with my boyfriend. It was a quick descent into hell. Both of us became shells of our former selves. Only difference is that we came from loving, stable households. I could totally relate to Tar & Gemma, only difference is that I am American, not British. It was sort of difficult to read, because as a former addict, reading about drug use, especially heroin, makes me think about it, something I don't need to do. But as this book is recommended for young adults, hopefully it will make them realize what hell life as an addict is, and steer clear of all drugs. However, as the book is recommended for "young adults" 12 and over (I, for one, don't consider 12-year-olds to be young adults, maybe 15-16 y/o) I think this book is too much for young kids and a lot would go not understood or misunderstood by a 6th grader.
