    <body><![CDATA[I checked this book out of the library after hearing David Sheff and his son Nick interviewed on NPR.  I found this book annoying and unrevealing (for a memoir) and yet I couldn't put it down.  David Sheff discusses his own drug use and alludes to his immaturity/commitment issues as a factor in his ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20868280">more...</a>]]></body>

He also presents a lot of research on crystal meth and its effects on users.

I read this because I saw the author, David Sheff, talking about it on Oprah, and because I have children close in age to his son; although I was fortunate enough to avoid the hell of parenting an addicted kid, I have been there with many of my friends, and with friends of my kids'. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24655678">more...</a>]]></body>
