Booktalk

Summary:
The Nick Sheff novel Tweak features a young man dealing with the problems of drugs. He is lead through his life by a few bad people and this leads his life on a path of self destruction. He checks in and out of rehab centers, but it always ends with him getting back on his addiction. He tells the story of his life and of all the problems that were caused by being addicted to meth. It ruins his life completely destroying ties with his family and friends, but in the end he gets clean, or does he...?

Personal opinion:
I liked the book alot because it is a good story that shows the perserverance of one man and how he could finally get on the right track. It is quite suspensful with some twists. The friends he makes along the way just ruin his life completely and if anything this book shows you the people you dont want to have as friends. It is a good way to scare people away from drugs as well because I sure wouldnt want to go through the same things he goes through.
