An amateur British boxer decides to go on a 3 month trip to Asia to "find himself" and confront his angst after his trainer overdoses on heroin the night before his first proper fight. On the flight from London to Bangkok, he meets an eccentric passenger who gives him an illicit capsule, which causes him to go on a long, dark and twisted trip.

Mehso-so

This is the book that is going to convince you to never take drugs. The usage of the first-person narrative makes you experience Reilly's K hole or black hole experience to the fullest. The fact that the narration is bias due to the drug usage makes you constantly wonder what is real or fake in the plot. This story is extremely vulgar whether it's sexual to violent references or the usage of homophobic terminology.

I hate the use of homophobic language.

I'm currently feeling an Alice and Wonderland vibe because of the multitudes of rabbit and dark holes references.

This is surprising because it is set after Covid 19. Not going to deny that it's making me feel better to know that there is a chance for a more regular lifestyle to continue even though it's a fictional story

Thank you BookSirens for the free copy. All I know about this book is that it's about drugs and sports. I once took a class about sports doping so hopefully, that information will be useful during my reading
