So I just finished this one last night. If you've ever felt the temptation to try drugs read this book. It will totally turn you off the idea. Nic Sheff went through solid hell with his meth addiction and he tells us all about it in his memoir Tweak. From homelessness to starvation to much worse things he tells a brutally honest tale of hitting the bottom more than once. His father wrote a companion book called Beautiful Boy which I haven't read but which presumably tells his side of the story. Nic's story is inspirational but very graphic in many ways...violence, sex, drug use (duh) and it is a nonfiction memoir so this is true stuff. Just something to be aware of when you pick it up.
