After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant perspective on life that only comes from starting at rock bottom, The Big Fix tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable mother of three - and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there. Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, Tracey focuses on her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life.

A great read from Junkie to recovery..
Revisado: 05-19-20
I really enjoyed this book and listening to the life story of the author, A balance look at the life of a junkie living the life of recovery. A good dose of common sense drug policy and help for folks interested in beginning recovery. I also really enjoy listening to autobiographies read by the Author, and Tracy does a fantastic job, it really added to the story. Its nice to read a heroin story with a happy ending lived day by day.

Our fearless author, A. J. Jacobs, tackles a new intellectual adventure, an exploration of the most influential book in the world: the Bible. He determined that the best way to explore the Bible was to live it, as literally as possible. For one year.

A Wasted effort
Revisado: 10-28-07
I found this book very weak, and rather than an interesting look at the bible and what it might actually teach via the bible , or an funny look at Christianity, I found a book that was more akin to a bar bet (see Brian Zembic) , the author is continually opting out of items he "is just not comfortable with" including apparently the whole of the new testament, which is covered in about 2 minutes, wherein he states he isn't comfortable dealing with the figure Jesus, so pretty much opts out of the whole of the new testament. I found the book to be full of cop outs, and just generally weak.
Thankfully it is blessedly short.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

pushing a shopping cart with a whiney child
Revisado: 09-03-07
The world is destroyed, burned to ashes... Why? Not important.
The book seems to be about how to improvise footwear, the best way to piliage in a post apocalyptic world, and pushing a shopping cart with a bad wheel down the road to nowhere.
The boy, born and raised in a post apocalyptic hell, Seemed unfamiliar with survival and seemed to excel at whining so badly that on at least on three occasions I had to yell out loud to my stereo " OH JUST SHUT THE HELL UP! "
PAPA, I'm scared. Papa, I dont want to.. Papa..
Son, shut the hell up please.
Also, should you find a safe warm place to hide and recover, best get the hell out of there as soon as possible.
