Tweak by Nic Sheff


Tweak is brutally honest and Nic takes you into his drug infested life and his fight to stay sober despite his intense urges to use, use and use.

Nic gives us a view of his life and that quest for his next fix. Nic gives a compelling look into his life and how it is ruled by drugs. Nic tells what his drug life is like, how he is willing to do anything for that next hit. He describes his life in great detail seldom sparing details.

His honesty makes this memoir a page turner and a heart breaker. Must read for teens as a method of drug prevention. This book is so honest you have to take time away from it to soak in what is being said otherwise you are in emotion overload.

This memoir is just a glimpse into the life of an addict. I'm sure Nic whet through a lot more than he tell us and he tells us quite a bit.
