Absolutely loved this tale. Sad, full of life, made you think. I love stories like this. One of my favorite books this year.

Hunting Concrete Lions: A Redemption Memoir by Michael Cannan

If you are an alcoholic drug addict you have probably lived this story. If not, here’s an eye opener for you. Michael’s fall into the pit of despair and climb back out will terrify you.

This brutally honest, lucky-to-be-alive tale takes you all over the world as Michael Cannan searches for a way to live the good life for free-off the backs of others, as he lies, cheats and steals his way into nirvana. Or so he thinks.

A psychotic breakdown takes him to rehab which saves his life. Atoning for harmful deeds buys him his ultimate freedom and the chance to move on. How he remembers enough years of his delusional drug and alcohol infused life to write this story I haven’t a clue, but I do know you’ll be glued to this memoir.

Sincere thanks to #NetGalley and #BooksGoSocial for an ARC for my review.

Absolutely superb and heartbreaking read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this brilliant memoir, would recommend

Absolutely brilliant. Raw, honest, sprinkled with some humour and at times, heartbreaking. Exactly what a memoir should be. This is a great insight into how addiction can control you and it's not always as simple as 'just stop'. The trials and tribulations the author had to overcome are incredible. This represents hope for others who may be in a similar situation.
Highly recommended, five stars.
