librarianryan 's review for:
The House That Crack Built
by Jan T. Dicks, Clark Taylor
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
medium-paced
What the heck did I just read! This book is about the drug cocaine and how it destroys lives and neighborhoods. It is written in the style of The Napping House, where one sentence builds on the next to create the story, and each is repeated when a new sentence is added. There is NO WAY this book would be published today. We would look at this book very differently today, and would find softer more fact driven ways to talk about drug abuse. And oddest of all, this was written by a comedian. It’s all just too weird. I would say this is a book that should be purged from library selves.
