Nic Sheff's powerful memoir of drug abuse and alcohol addiction is written in a brutally honest style that makes it difficult for anyone else to narrate. Happily, narrator Paul Michael Garcia delivers a strong and commanding reading that perfectly expresses the rawness of Sheff's most personal recollections. As Garcia portrays Sheff, his tone is solid and low-key, as fits the heartache and melancholy that fill this story. Endlessly memorable, Sheff's memoir is brought to life in a reading that captures the essence of his downfall--a reality that may be TOO real for some. (For listeners who are interested, a companion memoir by Sheff’s father, BEAUTIFUL BOY, is also available on audio.) L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 08]
