I might have heard this in my high school freshman health class. Pretty much what I expected from Recorded Books and the summary. This book is a lot like reading the Wikipedia page on amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, or methamphetamine. It isn't much as far as chemistry, history, all the other tabs one would see in a Wikipedia entry for a drug that this book doesn't cover, and actually gets (most) of it right.
Perhaps most importantly, this book introduces some positive ideas, and possible solutions, i.e., problem: someone is struggling with addiction/dependence to one of these drugs. Solution: you aren't alone; there are ways to get help.
Introduces important key terms/vocabulary words without getting too detailed or graphic.
"Odor of glue or mayonnaise"? LOL!
