Never Enough by Barney Hoskyns

Never Enough is Barney Hoskyns's raw, uncompromising and utterly compelling account of the highs and lows of life under the needle.
Elegantly written, almost poetic at times, his (Hoskyns) book analyses the cause and effect of addiction and its vice-like grip on the body and mind * The Mail on Sunday *
The music critic's journey is filled with the beautiful as much as the damned.. replete with insight into the price of cool and the infatuations that can tear us all apart * New Statesman *
A powerful ... recollection of these lost years: vivid, impressionistic ... an ambitious, intelligent book -- Andrew Anthony, The Observer
A completely compelling memoir of addiction and redemption. Hoskyns has taken a highly personal subject and created a bold and rewarding account in which we may all find purpose and value -- Simon Garfield
A brilliantly-written memoir about the long route to freedom - a treatise on living and dying in an addictive and compulsive culture -- James Fox
Never Enough, the fierce, unflinching memoir of addiction and recovery by Barney Hoskyns, is really something -- Nicci French
Hoskyns's artful, intense Never Enough describes his all-consuming heroin addiction at NME, as well as his subsequent 30-year flight from it -- Ted Kessler, Q
Erudite and ruminative memoir . . . his writing is worth savouring . . . Never Enough is substantial and satisfying * TLS *
