Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamine
The next book that I would like to read is called Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamine. The reason why I would like to read this book is because I have had the great pleasure of reading his fathers book called Beautiful Boy and I absolutely loved it. The book Tweak is about a boy that grew up with an addiction to not only methamphetamine but also marijuana,alcohol,and other drugs as well. This book is about his journey through life suffering with all these addictions and how he overcame them through finding himself, now Tweak is his story and the book his father wrote Beautiful Boy was his fathers story about how he was living with a son who was a drug addict. It is two different perspectives from the opposite ends. What other have to say about this book is positive and negative as well, you get those who absolutely love what he wrote due to his honesty and bravery in talking to the younger generation about drug addiction and how it effects not only his life, but the lives of those around him as well. Then you have the other reviews of those who say that they thought that it was terrible due to the fact of him being so young and in experienced in writing a book. My opinion on the reviews of those who did not like the book is that they had read the fathers book Beautiful Boy and had the expectation of the son being a great writer as well and compared them which no reader should ever do, cause your just setting yourself up for disappointment. I can't wait to dive into this book cause if you have followed any of my other blogs that I have written then you know, that I have suffered and gone through the same addiction as well as the author has and would love to hear how he overcame this huge obstacle called addiction.
