Interpretation Concering Books A Piece of Cake

This is the heart-wrenching true story of a girl named Cupcake and it begins when, aged eleven, she is orphaned and placed in the 'care' of sadistic foster parents. But there comes a point in her preteen years - maybe it's the night she first tries to run away and is exposed to drugs, alcohol, and sex all at once - when Cupcake's story shifts from a tear-jerking tragedy to a dark, deeply disturbing journey through hell.

Cupcake learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. At just 16 she stumbled into the terrifying world of the gangsta, dealing drugs, hustling and only just surviving a drive-by shooting. Ironically, it was Cupcake's rapid descent into the nightmare of crack cocaine addiction that finally saved her. After one four-day crack binge she woke up behind a dumpster. Half-dressed and half-dead, she finally realized she had to change her life or die on the streets - another trash-can addict, another sad statistic.

Astonishingly, Cupcake turned her life around and this is her brutally frank, startlingly funny story. Unlike any memoir you will ever read, A Piece of Cake is a redemptive, gripping tale of a resilient spirit who took on the worst of contemporary urban life and survived it. It is also the most genuinely affecting rollercoaster ride through hell and back that you will ever take.

Evaluate Of Books A Piece of Cake

probably the most engrossing, vivid and even, at times, humorous account of drug addiction i've read. brown really has both a special voice and a unique perspective that elevated this book above and beyond other addiction memoirs.

This is a great story, but even that can not make up for the horrible writing techniques. The author has had an amazing life and her story is truly amazing and leaves a feeling of hope for those who have friends or family involved in addiction. However, she tends to ramble and repeat her situations to the point that the story becomes boring and redundant. Also, you can tell she is attempting to write in the way that someone in that situation would actually speak, but at the same time, she never

2 1/2 stars. This book is poorly written and I admit that it was hard for me to struggle through about the first half of the book. It's not the tragedy and grittiness of the actual story that turned me off, it's mostly the writing. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was a book that I nominated for discussion I would have honestly DNF'd it pretty early on. It did read quickly but for me it was because I wanted to move through the bad writing as quickly as possible and just be done.So many

Before I started reading this book, I read several reviews of it. They varied--either people really like it or they didn't. I really liked it.Of those who didn't they complained generally about one of two (or both) things:1) The story was too unbelievable; therefore, it must be exaggerated or falsified in some way; and2) The book is poorly written--has bad grammar and obvious transitions, for example--and probably should have been written by a ghost-writer.I disagree with both of these points.



I rated this book a 1 star because at the time I was very upset that a woman named cupcake brown who smoked crack and did ampehetamines on her lunch break had mulitple jobs as a legal secretary.

I've probably read this book three or four times over the past several years; my copy is now well worn and probably needs replacing. The market is saturated with memoirs and autobiographies of this kind; people who were abused or neglected as a child who struggle through life until they find emotional peace. On the first page, I realised this book was unlike others of a similar genre. The language read like the writer speaks, full of western coast American slang. I thought, 'this is going to be
