Praise for We All Fall Down
Sheff is blessed with off-the-charts readability, and his sex- and profanity-laced first-person narration makes him lovable and hateable in equal measure. --Booklist (starred review)
The present-tense storytelling and Sheff's authentic voice will keep readers engaged... Sheff doesn't provide simple answers--or any answers, really--but readers will respect his ability to move forward 'at my own pace.' --PW
Nic Sheff captures the insidious, almost vampiric mind-set of an addict who shrinks from any form of light. This book has more in common with Kafka than any recovery memoir I've read. --Mary Karr, New York Times bestselling author of Lit and The Liars' Club
Praise for Tweak
Difficult to read and impossible to put down. --Chicago Tribune
Tweak is...Bukowski and Burroughs, the heart to his dad's head -- and the kid can write. --Seattle Weekly
An unflinching chronicle of life as an addict. --U.S. News & World Report
Sheff's story takes off like a shot in the arm with a terse, honest and spontaneous narrative. --Kirkus
The trajectory of drug use is nothing new, but Sheff's lucid, simple prose makes the heartbreaking journey seem fresh. --San Francisco Chronicle
Sheff's journey, like his writing, is raw and compelling, heartbreaking and witty. An honest and gracious reflection about the challenges of recovery. --Rachel Sontag, author of House Rules: A Memoir
