 Written on August 3, 2008 Summary: Excellent book This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in how addiction devastates everyone in it's path. I had such empathy for David Sheff and all he went through. A wonderfully, well-written, moving book. Written on August 3, 2008 Summary: Very interesting, insightful, and personal I could not put this book down. It is so well written and filled not only with emotion from a first-person perspective, but also packed with research and facts that keep the intellectual reader interested. I love this book and wish I could speak with the author--doesn't everyone feel this way? I rode the roller-coaster with him throughout the course of the book and feel like I need as much help with my jelly-legs after that ride as he must. Thanks to Mr. Sheff for letting me into his world and giving me insight into a place I never want to go in person. Written on July 23, 2008 Summary: Beautiful Boy I have shared this book with my 21 yr old son who is in prison because of drug related crimes. I received a letter today saying that he now understands my side of his addiction. We have read both books (Beautiful Boy and Tweak)by father and son and have new insight and understanding for what we have BOTH been through. I hope to pass these books along to other family members and hope they gain some insight for what we have been through and can be more generous in their support for both of us. Thank you so much Sheff's for your bearing of soul. It has helped me and my son to grow closer. Written on July 21, 2008 Summary: Awakening to Reality I have never been moved by a book to actually take the time to write a review before. This book is not only well written but it is also a rude awakening to reality that we as parents do the best that we can but still could lose the battle. I have read a few of the negative reviews and I think that people are missing the point that Mr Sheff is simply writing to explain what it is like for families and parents. He does not glorify the events but recounts them with heartbreaking truth. There are parts of the book that may slow it down a touch but overall it is powerful and makes a point. Looking at the book you can see the mistakes that were made by David while raising Nic, but what parent doesn't make mistakes or have regrets. This book is truly an awakening to reality for me that any of our children are at risk and we all need to recognize that and take even the small signs to heart.  Written on July 17, 2008 Summary: A different perspective While I thought the father's view of addiction on the family was interesting, there really isn't much to the book. The story probably should have remained the in the magazine-length format. Two things did disturb me: 1. Mr. Sheff hides the son's addiction from the step-siblings until they are past the age when Nic started to use drugs. Don't hide your head in the sand a second time! 2. Mr. Sheff allows his son to travel to Europe and attend college out of state when he knows of Nic's drug problems. While it is impossible to control your child's actions, it would seem prudent to provide additional guidance when you know it is needed. |
