Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff
4.0
SYNOPSIS:
"Tweak" is a true story about meth addiction. We follow Nic Sheff, a 21 year old boy who falls into a great addiction. After months of working at a Sober Living clinic, Nic is done with his addiction, or so he thought... Soon he finds himself on the streets of San Francisco begging to get his hands on drugs. Soon Nic destroys everything that he had going for him: His relationship with his family, his job, even his relationship with all his friends. When Nic reaches rock bottom will he finally realize that enough is enough?
REVIEW:
"Tweak" was such an inspring true story. For anyone that wanted to try meth, they'll think twice after reading this book. Along the way we meet Zelda, Nic's first love, and thats when he begins to really frustrate me. I'm not going to give anything away so I'll leave it at that. Zelda was an annoying character who claimed she loved Nic but never once tried to help him and lets face it: That is not real love. Other than that, the book was amazingly written and very realistic. It can get a bit heavy but what can you except with a book about a meth addict right? Nic's views of the world begin very pessimistically but you can notice that bits of progress along the way. He describes things so vividly, including his thoughts, 4 out of 5 stars!!!
AGE RATING AND RECOMMENDED TO:
Obviously this book should only be read by kids who who are at least 16 because of all the cursing, the sex, and obviously the drugs. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever done or thought about doing drugs, this will make ya think again!!!
