Review by Library Journal Review
Terry is a typical, attractive young woman in her twenties with a job and a boyfriend. However, her boyfriend, Teddy, is addicted to heroin and frequently drags Terry to Porky's drug house for a hit. Terry resists the drug as well as Porky's lustful glares, but she eventually goes down that slippery slope and morphs into the very thing she hates-a dopefiend. Verdict This classic title of 1970s street fiction has never been out of print owing to its gritty depiction of the realities of an addict's lifestyle. An excellent companion read to Swinson's The Candy Shop (see above).-Vanessa Irvin Morris, The iSchool at Drexel Univ., Philadelphia (c) Copyright 2010.
