Tweak

Tweak, by Nic Sheff, is a very repetitive book. Its all about getting high and thinking about becoming clean. Spending every cent of your money and hitting rock bottom before becoming sober, just so you can relapse is the main theme of Tweak. Nic, is on day 23 of relapsing, and he takes a lot to get him high, or feeling that he is high. He is getting high so often that he has trouble finding a vein to hit; now he looks for veins in his feet or legs. He believes that you should live life and die young, rather than die from a old and boring life. Personally, I would rather lie a mediocre, long life. Living the life of getting high and drunk all day doesn't seem a tad bit interesting or fun as people, such as Nic Sheff and Gack do. I hope that reading more of Tweak will give me an insight on how the "druggies" of the world compensate for their bad decisions.
