Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines is an autobiography by Nic Sheff. The book is about his struggles with his drug and alcohol addiction. Nic Sheff is the main character with his father, David Sheff, and girlfriend, Zelda, as principal characters. The jacket design shows a vivid red and black design. It catches your eye and leads you to assume that the book is of danger and excitement. Although some parts can be slow, Tweak is a very good book, and I would recommend it to anyone. ( )

This was a great companion book to Beautiful Boy. The writing wasn't amazing but the story was fascinating. A good way to see the world from the perspective of a crystal meth addict. ( )

I think this would be a great book for teenagers to read. THis reminded me somewhat of "Go Ask Alice" of my era. ( )

This is an intense story of a boy who grew up using methamphetamines as well as every other drug around. It gives a graphic description of serious drug addiction and does not glamorize it in the least. It is a dark story and I cried a little while reading it, but only because I realized as I read that this was just a normal boy with a terrible addiction. I highly recommend this book and am preparing to read "Beautiful Boy" which is his father's account of his drug use. ( )
