the last word regarding opium dens

It's always ammusing and exciting to me how Mr. Tosches can put into words thoughts about his subject matter that he so aptly describes in TLOD on pg 53 as such, "Anyway, as I said-or was it one of those other guys?-paradise has no words." If this is true then is it not silly to bend over backwards and play gymnastics of the written word in order to explain what I find to be so patently obvious, which is, simply put, The Last Opium Den is a great book, beautifully written? It's only fault may be that it is not very long, only 74 pages. The more I think about it though, the more I think that its brevity is just right considering the subject matter. Read on fellow book lovers. Read on. A must. Tosches has witten the last word regarding opium dens.

little but enjoyable kick

an intriguing, elegantly written journey created by a highly unique mind. It could have been done as a lower-priced paper back, but no worries. This author always pleases with his work.
