Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff

2.0

I read this after reading Beautiful Boy, thinking it would be interesting to get the son's perspective on his drug addiction after reading the father's tale. Unfortunately, the father's book is much better written and edited than this one. Nic Sheff gives us a play-by-play of his experiences with various drugs, but is very short on introspection. Although he recounts scenes in excruciating detail and dialogue, he gives extremely little insight into his own thoughts or motivations. Because of this, I found it hard to have empathy for him.
