"""Nic Sheff's wrenching tale is told with electrifying honesty and insight."" -- Armistead Maupin, author of The Night Listener and Michael Tolliver Lives ""Difficult to read and impossible to put down."" -- Chicago Tribune ""Tweak is...Bukowski and Burroughs, the heart to his dad's head—and the kid can write."" -- Seattle Weekly ""An unflinching chronicle of life as an addict."" -- U.S. News & World Report ""Full of jaw-tightening and occasionally grisly scenes of shooting up, deals gone bad, guns and sex, Sheff’s story takes off like a shot in the arm with a terse, honest and spontaneous narrative."" -- Kirkus Reviews Review of Tweak and Beautiful Boy: ""Both takes on this story are riveting, brilliantly written, thoughtful, searingly honest and equally essential. They should be mandatory reading for every teenager and every parent of one."" -- London Daily Mail ""The trajectory of drug addiction is nothing new, but Sheff's lucid, simple prose makes the heartbreaking journey seem fresh."" -- San Francisco Chronicle “A raw and sad account, vivid in its depiction of the pleasures and tunnel vision of addiction and the challenges of sobriety.” -- BCCB ""Raw, powerful, and honest."" -- The Bookseller"
