Query: i'm being nostalgic and generous in my rating

i have not reread this book since the age 10, at which time it impressed me as rather contrived since the newspapers weren't full of local teens dying from "drugs".In addition, i recall no mention of alcohol in its sorry pages, which seems rather suspicious.I remember vividly the runaway-and-use speed-and fit into groovy clothes chapter, which made me interested in amphetamines.From an adult perspective this segment as well as others seems, well, contrived or fake as many others have noted.Nevertheless, i enjoyed it as a kid and i never got "messed up" on drugs, but probably not due to this book's warning.I do remember other kids, even at that time(early 70's) saying the book was a fraud.Unfortunately, it has lost its entire power as a result.
