Book Reviews of Smack
Book Review: "Kids, just say NO to 'Smack'"
Summary: 2 Stars
Wow... what a fresh, original concept... two babes-in-the-woods runaways shack up with two caring people named Vonny and Richard, but the babes are lulled by two pathetic junkies named Lily and Rob, so begins a predictable descent into criminal activity, stealing, prostitution, etc. for "just one fix." until one of the kids has a revelation and goes straight. If you haven't heard this story (a million times before), then "Smack" is the book for you. As far as I'm concerned, the only entertainment I could get out of this MTV-generation book was watching the snotty characters' own self-inflicted downward spiral.
