内容简介 Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and Ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge the mental and physical depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself. It's a harrowing portrait -- but not one without hope.
作者简介 Nic Sheff is a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. Still in his early twenties, he continues to fight daily battles with his addictions. His writing has been published in
Newsweek,
Nerve, and the
San Francisco Chronicle.
Tweak is his first book.
专业书评 From Publishers Weekly Sheff relates his personal struggle with drugs and alcohol in this poignant and often disturbing memoir. Paul Michael Garcia is the perfect choice for narrator; his stern and entirely believable voice captures the desolation in Sheff's tale. His reading is wonderfully underplayed, and necessarily so. Garcia becomes Sheff, offering a gritty and raw performance that demonstrates just how dire the circumstances surrounding Sheff's existence really were.

--This text refers to the Audio CD edition. From AudioFile Nic Sheff's powerful memoir of drug abuse and alcohol addiction is written in a brutally honest style that makes it difficult for anyone else to narrate. Happily, narrator Paul Michael Garcia delivers a strong and commanding reading that perfectly expresses the rawness of Sheff's most personal recollections. As Garcia portrays Sheff, his tone is solid and low-key, as fits the heartache and melancholy that fill this story. Endlessly memorable, Sheff's memoir is brought to life in a reading that captures the essence of his downfall--a reality that may be TOO real for some. (For listeners who are interested, a companion memoir by Sheff's father, BEAUTIFUL BOY, is also available on audio.) L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--
