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.

  1. This books sounds really interesting! I read a book similar to it called Crank, and it was about a girl instead of a boy. This would be a good book to read for people who are tempted by dugs, maybe it could knock some sense into them.

  3. Leo I love you too. Anyways, this book sounds like the coolest thing in the world. I kind of want to read it but I am not sure if it has anything about football or any resemblance to Eterno. I want to know if he gets himself away from drugs because that would be sad if he stayed addicted to drugs. Drugs are bad for you Leo so don't do them. See you at lunch!
