Críticas

There s enough material here for two novels .... What about the legality and morality of growing marijuana for sale? Should a murder go unpunished? One hopes readers will be inspired to discuss these issues, especially in the context of the well-realized bleakness of Jacob s life and those of his friends.--Michael Cart"Booklist Online" (02/17/2010)

Reseña del editor

When his dad nearly dies of alcohol abuse, Jacob realizes that his own alcoholism is a death sentence. It's only a matter of time before he becomes his father, but it's seemingly impossible to stay sober. Wasted follows a teen's path to change in this insightful, realistic novel.

Wasted is Brent Sherrard's first published novel. He and his wife, author Valerie Sherrard, live in Miramichi, New Brunswick.
