      Can relate to author

      Once I opened the book immediately upon receiving, I could not set it down. For some reason, every page flipped without my noticing. Before I knew it, 2 hours later, I was close to halfway through with this book. The way it was written, in such detail (to my liking), I felt as if I were watching it on screen. Or there personally with almost every situation in 'TWEAK'. Good read, would definitely recommend to others like me, who dislike reading. Thank you Nic Sheff!!!

    • Awesome sauce 👍

      I like the book because it gives nics own perspective on his life and struggles and it may not be the way that we want it to be written but that's the beauty of this book that it is nics own life story in his own walking shoes and he shares that to his readers in a way that he seen it and felt about it so that's why I like this book and I could only wish him the best.

    • Real Down and Dirty Prospective.

      If you want to get an understanding of what real life drug addiction looks...this is the book! My job involves representing parents with addiction issues in the process of gaining back custody of their children and this book has assisted me in better understanding my clients.

    • Tweak by Nic Sheff

      Powerful journal of a young man's struggles with addiction. Nic Sheff graphically describes his journey through addiction, rehabilitation, relapse, and finally, through discovering how to love and accept himself. This book was brutally honest - I thought is was very helpful in understanding an addict's pain and their need to mask their pain. I also read his father's account of HIS struggles in "Beautiful Boy" - both books were jolting reminders of the devastation that addicts - and those who love them - face. I think this book would help anyone better understand the mind and actions of an addict. In spite of the raw pain that Nic Sheff exhibits, this book is also a story of hope and recovery. Highly recommended.
