   Summary: Must read
You should consider this book a must read if your life has EVER come into contact with anyone battling an addiction. It is the best insight into the world of those touched by addicts I have ever read.

I recommend it to anyone that ever mentions the subject to me.

   Summary: Beautiful Boy
I bought this book a second time, this time for a friend. The story is so real - you have the feeling that you're in the middle of everything what happend. I totally would recommend that book because it' more than a story or a normal book! Very authentic!!!

   Summary: Very real and honest... a MUST read for parents of teens
This well written book will help many people, and I believe the author was very brave and honest. This book helped me to learn how to 'let go'..even if your son or daughter 'just drinks' or 'just smokes pot' .. this book will help you.

I want to thank the author for opening up his personal life; there is such a stigma to this kind of illness. Many small minded people can not grasp the situation and finding support (even among family memebers) is nearly impossible and extremely expensive. Nic was blessed his family had the love and resources to pull him through without him dying or going to jail.

I agree that everyday is a stressful as combat..losing control of the child you love; knowing you can't do a thing; and having the strength to know when to say no more...without feeling like you have stopped loving your child.


My favorite part of the book; is when the author found his higher power; his faith; and he learned to pray. May God Bless him for being so honest and writing such a moving, encouraging, and supportive book.

   Summary: Beautiful book about a beautiful boy with a not so beautiful problem....
Beautifully written! David Sheff's writing is painful, educational and incredibly revealing. I loved the book so much, I have recommended it all of my friends. The research on meth's addictive powers alone is truly noteworthy. Sheff gives so much valuable info about the country's meth epidemic, this could very well be used for educational purposes.

I have purchased Nic's book "Tweak" and I look forward to reading the flip side of this very scary story.

Highly recommended!

   Summary: Good Book
This is a tear-jerker. It's worth the read for any parent struggling with an addicted child. I cried and was left feeling depressed. However, it does have a happy ending. I hope and pray all of us with addicted children have happy endings, too.
