Customer Reviews

If you or a loved one have a problem with booze, READ THIS!

"Whiskey's Children" is by far the best book I have ever read on the disease of alcoholism. Mr. Erdmann describes so well the descent and the progression into alcoholic aniliation. And he describes the way out which is nothing short of a miracle. You will CHERISH this book!

HOW COME?

Why is'nt Whiskey's Children on the "Best Seller" List? How come Don Imus or Oprah have'nt picked it up? The book is SENSATIONAL !

I thought it was terrific.

Whiskey's Children touched me far more than Angela's Ashes. It hit me in emotional places I hadn't visited for a long, long time. The prose was brilliant. As Annie Lamott the New York Times Best Selling Author wrote in her forward: "a story so beautifully told it will leave you shaking with wonder". Exactly! When I read the rave reviews on the jacket I was struck by Senator George McGovern's remarks: "Heartbreaking and soaring. A testament of survivial and hope for all who suffer from this affliction". D. MayI believe Whiskey's Children is the most powerful and inspirational book ever written on alcoholism.Everyone who loves a fast and gripping read should run, not walk, to the nearest bookstore and pick one up.

Completely absorbing and touching

After reading Whiskey's Children more than a year ago, it still is with me. Jack Erdmann's descent into alcoholism and his strength to rise out of despair and complete alienation is an inspiration that will stay with me a long time
