Book Reviews of The Addiction Monster and the Square Cat
Book Review: ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS ALIKE!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have had the privilege of reading Ms. McGinnis' other books, than you will clearly know that this one.......though written more for adolescents, it is nothing short of telling it "like it is" on a level that both parents and children will learn from...... together!! The topic of drug addiction in this world, is as real as the chair you are sitting on, whether you want to face it or not, or whether you think that it will never happen to you, someone you love, and most of all..... you children, who are exposed at a much younger age than you could possibly imagine!! This book is a wake-up call, told from the perspective of a cute, but sassy cat! The reader will understand the urgency of the problem, long before the final page, but you won't be able to put it down until the very end!! A MUST-READ is purely an understatement, and should be a part of every child's and parents' library, as well as every school library....... world wide!! It took me all of a 30 minutes to read the book, because I could hardly wait to see what was said on the following pages - just as you will!! This book will hit you squarely between the eyes, as you begin to understand the seriousness of the message!! Without giving it away, just know that there are moments of humor, as well as sadness, though being addicted to drugs and alcohol, is in no way a laughing matter!! Our children are dropping like flies on a daily basis, and without educating yourselves and your children, before they start experiementing, (which all children do - even though they may have heard of the dangers), you may well miss the signs - which you will also learn in this magnificent, yet hard hitting jewel of book!! Whatever you do.........don't miss it, or any other of Ms. McGinnis' work, as she speaks from first hand experience!! I truly appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts here, as I would NEVER be as educated as I am now, (affording me the knowledge to help others)...... which I wish I had known, prior to my own child's death from the scourge of addiction!!! If you think that you have experienced pain in your life before, there is NOTHING which comes close to losing your child, when it could possibly have been prevented - had you or your child known!! Oh yes, TRUST ME........it most certainly can happen to you and yours!!! Now that you know that this book has been written and is available here, there is NO EXCUSE for not reading this with or to your children!! Undoubtedly, you will thank Ms. McGinnis for having the courage to write her books on this subject, which still carries such a stigma. It is up to us to remove that stigma, and to educate ourselves and our before it's much TOO LATE!!!
