lets see... if i recall nick is still sucking down the drinks
and i recall him getting pretty drunk one evening at the
diner and being useless to his girlfriend later that night,
but i also recall him controlling himself and being happy
about it. i'd say he's much more functional in _shame the
devil_. the only other one i've read is _the sweet forever_,
and the BIG difference i notice is that the drug usage is cut
way back in _shame the devil_.
i hope this is right... so many books.
