Scattered: The inside story of Ice in Australia

I found this book interesting, enlightening and a little tedious when statistics were quoted, but they are an essential part of the information departed to the reader.
It has certainly changed my view of the ice user. I always imagined an ice addict to be poorly dressed with bad hygiene, the typical image of a junkie. To discover that this drug is used regularly by all classes and the effect it has on society is quite a revelation.
I recommend this book to everyone. It has helped me understand why people are too scared to help others when openly attacked in the street, the increasingly dangerous challenges that our police and medical staff endure each day, and most importantly, even if my children grow up to be lawyers and accountants, they have just as much chance at falling into a dangerous and addictive party habit as a homeless teenager constantly exposed to drugs.
