Tweak by Nic Sheff

I am not too for into this book yet, based on what I have read and heard about this book, it seems very interesting. It is a memoir about a high school boy, Nic Sheff, who starts off in high school as what some would call a model student. Nic got good grades, he was athletic and he also had two younger siblings that looked up to him. But the story is about how his life completely changes around when Nic starts getting into drugs. Not just casual, he becomes addicted to drugs. He starts to fail classes, he no longer plays sports, and he is no longer the older brother that his two siblings look up to. As a matter a fact, he becomes a bad influence on his younger sibling and his parents are forced to kick him out of the house. This book makes me truely understand the effects of abusing drugs and how it can completely change a persons life around. What i like most about this book is that it is extremely powerful and realistic; this makes it that much more interesting to read.
