A Drugstore Cowboy - Scams & Stories: Amended & Addended (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500142940)

Childhood to maturity is a leap often missed, and often relived, again and again. Cut to a reader's timeline, this new version has Zach plodding through disruptive days, and equally disorderly nights, leaving sirens wailing, and narcotic cabinets empty. This tale follows the antics of a successful drugstore cowboy, showing the influences that have an intense effect on anyone, and follows his journey to maturity. Full of action and abnormality, there is humor, despair, insanity, and love; a definite timeline that rises and falls, depending on the circumstances. Ultimately a quest from childhood to a normal-hood, we see a typical suburban upbringing, spontaneously interrupted and jerked violently up and down, his upbringing rattles a lot of acorns off the trees, filling the book quite the cast of nuts. A cast of Falstaffian proportions: from Judges, pyschologists, and police, we meet many characters, all with their own version of crazy-one man's normalacy is another man's insanity. The story challenges what defines reality, and asks who is egotistical enough to claim total understanding, or omnicient enough to impose their opinions on the world. These were the best of times, they were the worst of times; the age of wisdom, the age of sorrow; a time of lightness, a time of darkness. Reality. With adventure and realism, you'll love this book...educational and entertaining, there's always something happening. We were invincible. Untouchable. Outside the law, there was nothing we would not do. Afraid of nothing, searching for something, we experimented with everything and ignored the lessons of the past, for we were the vanguard of a new age, expanding understanding with the science of the future. We sought new frontiers of the mind, smashing boundaries with drugs, new ideas, and artificial bravado. We were legends in our own minds, and a bit delusional - must've been the drugs. Full of life, this satirizes sanity, and each page spoofs the sublime. This narrative covers both sides of the street, and discovers many similarities. Real truth is padded with lies...making it palatable for the average consumer, showing everything is under control (insert loud guffaw).
