Afterparty by Daryl Gregory

Mr. Gregory is a new to me author. The reason I wanted to read this book is because the idea that someone can find God by taking a drug is intriguing in the idea itself. Although I have said it before that I usually stray away from books that defie other ideas of God or religion. This is just my thing. However I thought this book was not just about religion or drugs but about the people, greed, effects of drugs, loneliness, and survival. So for these reasons, the story was so much more complex. Which I was intrigued by the seedy underbelly side of the drug world. Ok, so maybe I shouldn't say seedy as I am sure not all the people involved in the making and selling of drugs are all bad. It is the image involved in the drugs that make them bad which I have briefly gotten to see this first hand. My husband lost his youngest brother to drugs.
Back to the book. There is some language used but for this type of book, I would expect this and was not offended. I just wanted to put this warning out there in case some people are offended by language. I would say this book is gritty in a good way. I was so fascinated by what was happening in the story that it made reading the book go by quickly. This book is worth checking out.
