Koren Zailckas
Zailckas' unflinching candor and exquisite analytical eye get to the meaning beneath the seeming banality of girls' getting drunk. She persuades us that her story is the story of thousands of girls like her who are not alcoholics (yet) but who use booze as a short cut to courage, a stand-in for good judgment, and a bludgeon for shyness, each of them failing to see how their emotional distress, unarticulated hostility, and depression are entangled with their socially condoned binging.
Like the contemporary masterpieces The Liars' Club, Autobiography of a Face, and Jarhead, Smashed is destined to become a classic. A crucial book for any woman who has succumbed to oblivion through booze, or for anyone ready to face the more subtle repercussions of their own chronic over-drinking or of someone they love, Smashed is an eye-opening, wise, and utterly gripping achievement.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"This raw, eye-opening memoir will deepen readers' understanding of American culture and perhaps their own lives." (Booklist)
"Zailckas is unsparingly insightful and acutely aware of what drinking can and does do to girls....Her book is deeply moving, written in poetic, nuanced prose that never obscures the dangerous truths she seeks to reveal." (Publishers Weekly)

More important for college policy makers if they can put safety of students ahead of profit

This book could have helped so many kids who think its cool getting drunk or it will solve their immediate problems. Maybe it will if they find this book as sad as I did.

It was really relatable, even when Koren was talking about something I couldn't directly relate to.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was much too long for one sittingAny additional comments?
This is a great book. Koren described a lot of things I have experienced and a lot of things I haven't, but I felt like I was listening to a kindred spirit tell a familiar story.A Great Read for Anyone in Recovery

I like to read along in the paper version as the audio plays on a headset. I enjoy this more than just one or the other.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
This book was a perfect representation of alcohol abuse in college. I am sad to say, but this is the fairly common college experience for most students these days. Koren does an excellent job of nailing the emotions that go along with alcohol use and abuse as a growing and developing woman. This is a must read for high-school students about to attend college or those already there and having or seeing others in trouble with alcohol abuse. It pinpoints the obvious and imminent dangers with-in the drinking sub-culture at college.Perfect Representation of Alcohol Abuse in College
