| I bought this book to read to my four year old. He is very much into politics and can spot John McCain, Sarah Palin and Obama when they're on TV. He loves being read to and really enjoys this book. He's memorized most of it, occasionally tells people that John McCain was shot down when he was flying and airplane, went to prison camp and wants to be president. I am so proud along with knowing some American history, he also knows what a true American hero is. Thanks Meghan for writing this book! |

| This book was an honest, hardcore look at Nic's life as a drug addict. Nic was a talented, smart teenager who started drinking and taking drugs. This book describes in detail his life when he was using and in recovery. I read this after I read Beautiful Boy, and it was very interesting in that it filled in some of th gaps in Beautiful Boy. When Nic disappears for long periods of time in his father's book, he tells us what he was doing in Tweak.
