Former meth and everything else he can lay his hands on addict goes to rehab for the 400th time, makes terrible life choices, starts abusing booze, pot and relationships, writes a memoir about his supposed sobriety that becomes a hit, lies and manipulates everyone around himez, why did I even bother reading this book If you d asked me three quarters of the way through, I would have said that Nic was an irredeemable jerk, a narcissistic douchebag with an overinflated ego who hates himself How cou [...]
I was a big fan of Tweak and Beautiful Boy Tweak is Nic Sheff s story about his addiction to meth, and Beautiful Boy is his dad s book about what it is like to have an addicted son Both of those books are hard core, disturbing and graphic I cried while reading Beautiful Boy We all fall down is Nic s story about what happened after the events described in Tweak He goes to a bunch of treatment centres, and relapses He ends up drinking heavily and smoking pot every day He struggles with despair, ba [...]
This is Nic Sheff s second memoir about addiction Basically, while riding the wave of success on a book tour forTweak , Nic makes a series of selfish and predictable moves He leaves rehab with a girl he meets in rehab, quits taking medication for bipolar disorder, lives off his girlfriend, starts drinking alcohol, smoking pot, and lying Add a three month stint back to Los Angeles, two emotional affairs, and a lot of crying to the mix, and you pretty much have it He still uses the word whatever t [...]
I really loved the book Tweak although, as I read it I wondered to myself How is this kid going to possibly stay sober He hasn t grown much at all as a person and is still very immature It was a very voyeuristic look into someone s life crumbling down around them view spoiler We All Fall Down Living with Addiction reveals that he doesn t stay sober I m not exactly surprised by that One powerful impression that WAFD left me with is that there is no clear cut path to a healthy life and that a twel [...]
I absolutely loved Beautiful Boy A Father s Journey Through His Son s Addiction and Tweak Growing Up On Methamphetamines This book was a little disappointing I still love Nic Sheff s first person, brutally honest storytelling This time around, though, I really wish his editor s had worked harder to get rid of the uh s just because he says it doesn t mean it should be written down and some of the profanity It was distracting That being said, this is an interesting followup to Tweak and is clear a [...]
Where was the EDITOR on this one Man, Sheff gets away with repeating entire paragraphs thoughts PAGES almost verbatim at points Also, like most people I d imagine I read this book because I loved his 1st memoir, TWEAK so muchwell, this is no Tweak Growing Up On Methamphetamines For starters, there is simply LESS STORY and could have easily been trimmed down by 100 pages Argh there are so many reasons I am disappointed with this book, primarily that I spent on a hard copy to add to my shelf next [...]
I ve wanted to read one of Nic Sheff s memoirs since I saw him on Oprah with his dad It was right around the time Tweak came out, because his dad was there talking about his own memoir called Beautiful Boy This book is not for the eaily offended It is an honest account of an addict s life complete with relapses, bad language mostly the f word and sexual situations Nic tells it like it is, which is what makes this book so powerful and moving You are right there with him as he s going through diff [...]
Nic Sheff is an addict Though his drug of choice is meth, he also abuses alcohol, marijuana, painkillers, and heroin In his previous memoir, Tweak, you can read about the worst of his addiction Here he writes about the hard work of trying to stay clean and as the title implies, it s not always easy to stay straight and sober, even when the alternative is a life destroyed.Though his writing, at times, felt a little mannered to me aping Holden Caulfield , it didn t really matter I forgive Sheff al [...]
Again, another from Nic Sheff He never ceases to amaze me This book was written with such perfection that I didn t want to put it down, but so much realism I had to set it down at points He doesn t cut away any parts of his life, no matter how tough they were He truly gave us a diary of his life and his perspective, and that s something like I ve never read before I truly enjoyed this book because in some ways, not his lifestyle, but his perspective seemed similar to my own He digs into your ins [...]
This book, We All Fall Down Living with Addiction, by Nic Sheff with a genre of autobiography Nic was drunk at the age of eleven for the first time, at age nine Nic was high for the first time It ll be okay, right He said I can t get addicted, it s just marijuana what s the worst that could happen At age 23 years old, Nic had been in several different rehab treatment centers His journeys through rehab treatment centers, homeless on the streets, living with his family and his girlfriend He descri [...]
Once I started reading We All Fall Down, I couldn t stop I was immediately drawn into Nic s world.And it s definitely a tough, scary world You feel like you re right there with him, going through everything with him This makes parts of it tough to read, because at times it feels like there s no hope for Nic, or any other addict It was definitely interesting to get inside of the head of an addict, to see the world as he saw it.I d definitely recommend this book for an older YA reader It deals wit [...]
I read Tweak some time ago, and enjoyed it a lot, despite how difficult it was to read because of the subject matter I was excited to pick up this book, Sheff s second, because I expected it to be like Tweak I was, unfortunately, wrong My main issue with We All Fall Down, is Sheff s insistence of including um and I mean and like throughout the memoir Not just a couple of times, or even a handful of times, but on every page The um inclusion especially aggravated me I get that he s trying to make [...]
In this honest, raw account of dealing with drug addiction, Nic Sheff uncovers the many manipulations, lies and tricks an addict will use to justify their need for a fix to themselves, to their friends and to their frightened families After all, how much fun can life be if you are truly sober Unfortunately, for Sheff, his road to recovery is numbed by alcohol and marijuana use even while touring the country speaking on the hazards of drug abuse This painful memoir reinforces the fact, no matter [...]
Kudos for being an honest account of the manipulation involved with addiction and the constant struggle to figure out what is normal The moments when Nic struggles with whether or not he even wants to be sober if it means just existing rather than living are the most compelling and interesting parts of the book However, I m not sure that the author has enough sober time to be able to honestly look at his own behavior There s still quite a bit of ego in the writing which at times can make it hard [...]
Fortunately, Sheff is not as whiny or narcissistic in this memoir as he is in his first, Tweak, though he still manages to be quite unlikeable and astonshingly unsympathetic Sheff affectively chronicles the ups and downs of trying to overcome his addiction and pull his life together in a raw, honest, and expletive ridden narrative.
It s a while since I finished Sheff s first memoir,Tweak Growing Up On Methamphetamines which I liked a lot in which he chronicles his descent into meth and heroin addiction so I was curious to see if he could wow me a second time Unfortunately not.In this memoir we re now privy to Sheff s journey through the world of rehab and recovery The follow up memoir seems a fairly transparent publishing industry driven attempt to capitalise on the New York Times Bestseller success of the first, a what ha [...]
This book is a candid telling of what Nic Sheff did to try and stay sober The hard road he took and about who helped and who became co dependants with him I was curious about this world as I kid to my mother that I would be the world s worst addict I hate taking pills, even those that help me like my migraine medication Personally, I hate that feeling of being out of control or being controlled by a substance, so this world is foreign to me Yes, I have actually met addicts, even gone to school w [...]
I thoroughly enjoyed Tweak Like most everyone else, I was gripped by the horrors of Nic Sheff s addiction and the sheer honesty he revealed It was hard not to read it in just one sitting, and, by the end of the book, I was cheering for Nic s recovery So, it would be easy to understand why I would desire to read We All Fall Down Not unlike Tweak, WAFD is a page turner There is a quality of Nic s writing which does that I feel like he s having a conversation with you while you re reading his words [...]
While reading Nic Sheff s book, We All Fall Down Living with Addition, I did a web search for his blog I wondered where he is today Seems his Blogger blog is gone, My Space blog inactive, not sure if Word Press blog ever existed.I learned that he writes for The Fix, which may be part of Salon dot com.Also, while reading, I reminded myself over and over again Judge not, just listen, because Nic sounds like a spoiled rich kid It was hard to feel sympathetic towards his feelings of self hatred, lon [...]
This book was absolutely amazing I picked it up because of the interesting cover but the novel itself is what got me addicted luckily in a different way than his I loved how, even though it was well written and had some beautiful analogies and metaphors, it was easy to read in the way that you could tell it was written by a professional, but also a human being The writing is what really got me to keep reading it even at times when I got kind of bored of it which didn t happen often because I kne [...]
Nic Sheff started his writing career his first memoir, Tweak, which dealt with his addiction to crystal meth Then his father wrote his own memoir, Beautiful Boy, detailing his struggles with his addicted son Both father and son went on a national book tour, and with Oprah s help, became national bestsellers We All Fall Down is Nic Sheff s story about how he dealt with rehabilitation, how he relapsed, suffered set backs, and how he tries his best to stay clean Nic s story is not new, he shares mo [...]
I know I shouldn t do a review a quarter of the way thru the book, but I just had to write down how I m feeling right now I m very frustrated with Nic Sheff in this book After being completely captivated by his father s book and his first memoir, Tweak , this book is sorely disappointing so far I feel like everything I read in Tweak was completely bogus or something, or the drugs have seriously screwed this guy s head up He is coming across as an arrogant, spoiled brat that doesn t know how to t [...]
charlotteswebofbooks.I really liked Tweak, and his fathers book A Beautiful Boy I was a huge advocate for both books at the bookstore and would handsell it to just about anyone I could We All Fall Down was a good book, but not nearly as good as Tweak Told in Nic s voice it should be rated R just for language alone One of the things about Tweak that held my interest was just the sheer grittiness of his addiction The dark and dangerous places it took him The fact that he was brutally honest about [...]
This book has done so much for me It s a memoir of a drug addict that I picked up on a whim because I saw it on the shelves at a doomed Borders for 75% off and thought it sounded interesting I d never heard of Nic Sheff before Now I m so glad I did.In reading this book and reading through his struggles, I began to recognize myself Not with the addiction to substances, but the addiction to people, the out of control thoughts, etc When I got to where he mentioned being bipolar, I was floored He wa [...]
This one is a real cautionary tale In the author s first book, Tweak, he describes how he overcomes drug addiction In this sequel turns out he had been lying in Tweak, and was still using drugs and not following his program during that time It s pretty obvious here that he only finished that book because he was so desperate for money With both books, I came away with a sinking feeling that if I ever picked up a newspaper to read that Nic had fatally overdosed, and or taken his own life, I can t [...]
Absolute waste of time, read a few chapters, it then appeared the whole book is taken up with ego trips, and how to beat the rehab system, even though his own way does not work too well.Congratulations on your probably, or hopefully then 2 years of sobriety by now, if not this would not surprise me.What really blows my mind is how this book ever got published, when there are millions of authors out there with a good stories to tell which may help someone battling addiction out there, but who ar [...]
This was so different from his other book it s like night and day I m unsure how to word how this book made me feel but I know it did put me into the mindset of an addict, the desperation, the lying to of not only those you love and whom love you but lying to yourself, I have just never been able to put that into words the way he does.I don t know if Nic will ever be well or clean, only Nic knows that but I do believe he s trying and that he was honest in this book, way than he was in the first [...]
Parts of this book were really good, others, not so much The weird thing is, most of the time, I was not touched by his story He glosses over a lot of the actual agony and remorse of coming down and the sheer torment of not being able to control the craving and the self loathing that it all brings It s also way too long.
Addicts in the throes of addiction are predictable Their patterns of behavior and their thought processes are boring Not surprising that this book is predictable and boring despite Nic Sheff s attempts to jazz it up by dropping consonants off the end of words.
I liked it and think Sheff writes with a lot of spirit and honesty The decisions he makes as a writer appeal to me not a lot of showboating, not much interest in pumping up the story s drama quotient I wanted him to be well as his story went on, and think other readers will, too.
