This is a genuinely bad book. It's badly written and badly edited, if it was edited at all. If all you care about is repetitive anecdotes about a guy getting high then... yeah, this one's promising.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I am a fan of memoirs. I have read plenty of them and I really liked the style of this one. I like how the story was told without glamorizing drugs or exaggerating the situations. If you want a real look at what addiction is like, this is a great book to read.

Brutally honest and well written. Some excerpts shocked me as raw & unsettling, but completely necessary in order to relay the truth behind Scott's life and addiction during the 10 months he describes, starting at age 19.
Scott writes in a diary format starting with his first experience with meth. I became part of the story and felt as if he was a friend and watched him go through this ordeal. Because there are snapshots of days (and obviously not every single day is written about during the time covered) I found myself wondering how certain situations were resolved. Music is referenced throughout and provides an even clearer picture of Scott and the time period.
Captivated by the story from the beginning I truly hope that Scott continues to write with such raw emotion to share with the rest of us.
Highly recommend.

I was given this book by the author for review.
Teenage Degenerate is honestly just really great. It shows true things and raw things that kind of blew my mind away. It was honestly scary yet intriguing at the same time and just woah.
It's actually kind of hard to put to words exactly what I feel about this book, but just know: it's rough, heartbreaking, and beautiful all at the same time.
(The author also has an impeccable taste in music as well, so...)
