Review of My Name Is Ryan

"My Name is Ryan" is a captivating piece about drug addiction. Ryan discusses his past life and how every minute of it revolved around finding drugs, or using them. At the same time however, Ryan was able to warn others about drug addiction. He talks about how he had gotten disgustingly thin and how he had to roam the streets every night to find somewhere to sleep. These examples showed the true side of drug addiction.
I really enjoyed listening to the narrator's voice - he was calm and his words were almost soothing, proving he has the ability to start over. His music choice was good and it didn't distract listeners or take away from the narration.
