The Facts about Ecstasy (Drugs)

Levert, Suzanne. The Facts about Ecstasy (Drugs). Benchmark Books, 2004. ISBN 0761418075. $37.07. Ages 9-12.

The book The Facts about Ecstasy (Drugs) is by Suzanne Levert. This book talks about ecstasy. It lists out the facts about how dangerous it is. It also names the slang of ecstasy and the “street names” for ecstasy. The style is straightforward, no nonsense, non fiction. It gives you the facts and the facts only. The negative space is great. It has just the right amount for you to be able to get enough information and still have not a ton of words per page. It has great pictures of important people in the war against the worldwide spread of ecstasy. I thought the book was great. The first-hand account made me want to stay away from ecstasy forever. It is a very educational book it has a great chapter on rehabilitation if you have taken and have gotten addicted to ecstasy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is addicted to ecstasy or even if you just want to get some information.
