“Beautiful Boy” is an autobiography of a father trying to save and help his son, a teen slowly loosing himself in his drug of choice: crystal meth. “Tweak” was written by Nic Sheff himself, I recommend reading in this order. First Beautiful Boy, then Tweak.
I read this book a few months ago but can still vividly remember the events that took place in this book. Nic Sheff is the son of David Sheff and falls into addiction at a young age because of many factors but mainly his mental problems that are rooted in his younger years. His parents are divorced and both in their second marriage, the father takes responsibility while he has school and the mother when he has holidays and if free of school. In the book we accompany David Sheff and his journey through his son’s addiction. It portrays how not only the user but their family, friends and close circle is also very affected by the abuse of drugs. It is a very heartbreaking book in which one hopes every time that it will get better, that Nic will stand back up after his fall. A masterpiece that one should read to empathize and try to understand the view of a drug addict. This is a sickness, one that affects many people in real life. For someone that has only heard of the life of addicts and their family, it is very important to read this book in order to be able to understand the situation better. It’s not something for the weak heart, read it at your own risk. Trigger warnings should be given for drug use and abuse, self harm, plus 18 scenes, family issues, gore and other graphic descriptions of wounds etc. I really recommend the book, it is very informative as well. There are many numbers given.
I once again realized that memoirs are not my cup of tea. I didn't click with the writing style and I watched the movie beforehand so I pretty much knew the story. It's still heartbreaking to know that this is a true story about a son addicted to meth and how his family has to deal with that. I also liked seeing and reading about the amount of research the author put into this book. So read it if you want or watch the movie (I personally preferred the movie)
Hab den Film geliebt, aber das Buch ist eher… naja, langweilig. Ich habe viel über Drogen gelernt und die Psyche der Menschen… ein bisschen ZU VIEL. Da hätte ich auch ein Buch über Drogen direkt lesen können, wäre der selbe Vibe gewesen
heartbreaking.
