The book, Methland, opens up with a very interesting prologue to the actual book. It starts out by introducing the town that the reporter, Nick Reding, who will stay in the mid-west to get to the center of the methamphetamine epidemic. The town of Oelwein, Iowa in Fayette County is first described as a small and wholesome town that seems to be just cruising along through the world without bothering or being bothered. But the town is starting to lose steam and begins to fall into an economic decline. The town seems to be cliché as it gets but below the cover of the town the deep and evil substance meth is finding its way into the homes of everyone in Oelwein.
Methland seems like it is going to be a very interesting and influential. The book deals a lot with the drug and the battle to fight off the temptation and to fight the use of it. This is going to make the book interesting because books about drugs interest me the most. I like to read about the mental and emotionally effects of drugs on the people in the books. This helps you put together pieces of why people take such hard drugs. The more you understand about why people do drugs the less likely I am to try them because I’m so educated on them and their horrible side effects.
