One thing positive about this collection of novels is that they very quick to get through. In this one Patrick is in his early twenties. He has traveled to New York City to retrieve the ashes of his late father who everyone tells him was such a wonderful person. A majority of the book is Patrick's out of control drug use and/or his attempts to procure drugs and he takes an insane amount of drugs. The only redeeming quality of the story are his internal stream on consciousness monologues that are intriguing and sometimes humorous. While so far, I'm not fond of this series, I understand that they are the perfect vehicle for Benedict Cumberbatch's style of acting. So I soldier on to book three.
