Beautiful Boy


        Beautiful boy is written by David Sheff. If you read Tweak by Nic Sheff there is a resemblance to them. In Tweak it was Nic's point of view. He told his untold life. In David's point of view, its about how he saw Nic grow up. David thought that Nic would still be that little boy that he always new. People change!

        David is a father to Nic Sheff. In Beautiful Boy it talks about flashbacks of Nic. How he was so confident in himself. In the beginning Nic is coming home from college. His little brother and sister are really excited. They haven't seen Nic for so long. Its like a new beginning for those two. O f course Nic is tired from his plane trip but, he still reads a bedtime story for his siblings. I cannot tell you the rest of the story because it gives out information that you would want to read. 

    All in all, I would recommend this book to people that like to read point of view type of books. I reallly enjoyed Beautiful Boy you will too!

summary

IDENTICAL.......

          Identical is written by Ellen Hopkins. The main characters are Ranee and Raleigh. Ranee and Raleigh are identical twins. Both twins have a difficulty with life. Even their home life isn't the best of both worlds. They do not have divorced parents but it feels like it to them. Being identical twins usually is hard ( for these twins). Some people, usually friends always mixes them up. Ranee and Raleigh in IDENTICAL both set their stories and opposite ends. They both have problems. What can expect for 2 teenage girls to do?

    These girls have a mom that is ruing for Congress. Having a mom that is ruing for Congress isn't just easy. They have to go everywhere! For interviews, and events! Its crazy! Ranee nor Raleigh know their mom that well. They still love her but its hard to say I love and hear an I love you back. She's gone. It is rare to even have a sit down dinner. That's how fast she is. Having a Congress mom is leaving some blanks that's happening in Ranee and Raleigh's life. They found out that there is an actual grandma from their dad's side!! Its pretty interesting because their dad said that his mom had past away. Lies lies and even more lies!

    Reading IDENTICAL by Ellen Hopkins is extremely interesting. You never know what is happening and you don't even see it! Its amazing! I would recommend this book to readers that prefer social issues!

Tweak..... the last part 

            
   As all of you readers know that Tweak and other books always end. They sometimes end and sometimes don't. It all depends on one person. THE AUTHOR! Nic Sheff, a young teenage boy was thrown out of his own calm, loved life by his decisions. It all rounds out to the decisions. Nic is a drug-addict boy. Starting pot and drugs at the age of 9 ruins your furture.

  Nic Sheff is trying to get back on. Yes, he left Lauren ( Nic's  girlfriend) in dramatic way. Yes, Nic called his dad. Calling his dad didn't turn out like he thought. His dad didn't even say hello. He just stated that they were done with Nic's life. Its sad to hear that but it was the only thing that Mr. Sheff wanted to say. Mr.Sheff was angry about everything Nic has done. Remember, Nic stole a whole lot of money from his loved ones. Now, Nic ran away from the drug life in Presidio. He went back to his older brother. Nic's older brother gave him advice. To love life! And so Nic did.

  Life is short. Nic Sheff is role model. Even though Nic started out shaky he ended up with a life were he had a home. He doesn't live in his car anymore. And he isn't tired from being tired. He has energy to love his life and to know that it was him who made his change!

Tweak  (own opinion)

(If you haven't read Tweak.. this is a spoiler alert!)
       Tweak is written by Nic Sheff. Tweak is the memoir of Nic's life as a young teenage boy. He has been taking drugs since he was 12 years old. All of his childhood was surrounded by drugs and pot. Nothing healthy was there. He has a step-mom, a dad, and siblings. He has stolen a lot from his loved ones. Money was Nic's top priority. To get drugs he needed money. Drugs do not sell cheap! He suddenly meets a guy named Gank. I guess he is a drug dealer. Gank knows a lot of dealers. Like, Bullet. Bullet is a homeless youngster that has connection to drugs also.

    Nic has ran away from his family. He has ran away from his life. Nic is a type of guy that cannot stop his habits. Whenever he has one drug he wants it over and over again. Just to put this into an example he has already stolen over 100 dollars from his cafe job. There is nothing new to Nic's life. When you take drugs you go into depression. Never have drugs!

   All in all, I have not finished it yet. Tweak is a hard core book. I would recommend this to people that like to read about issues during teen life. This is my blog for this Sunday!!!
