Review of Teenage Degenerate on Barnes and Noble.com
Teenage Degenerate: A Memoir that Explores the Depths of Methamphetamine and Drug Addiction by S.C. Sterling is an eye opening experience in the life of a drug addict. In the book, Sterling tells about his experiences using different drugs and how meth took control of his life. He also reveals what finally made him quit using meth.

Review of Teenage Degenerate on Goodreads.com
This was a great memoir of a 19 year old struggling with crystal meth addiction. Often, addiction memoirs are hit or miss, as the ppl writing them are not actual WRITERS. However, Scott Sterling could have fooled me! This book has recurring themes, a distinct voice, great character development, and is written in the format of dated entries, like a diary, adding to the immediacy of the plot.
It is 1996 in New York City. Scott is 19, and has a core group...

AudioFile Review of the Audiobook
Narrator Sean Hopkins presents Sterling’s harrowing account of his addiction to crystal methamphetamine and his subsequent recovery. Hopkins speaks straightforwardly as Sterling neither makes excuses nor blames others as he describes some of the physical costs of addiction, including meth sores, bloody teeth, and painful gums.
The people in his circle are distinct, and it’s heartbreaking to hear how often they simply disappear. Listeners won’t be surprised when Sterling begins dealing drugs,...

Review of Teenage Degenerate on Amazon
S.C. Sterling tells a brutally honest story about his addiction and the losses he endured as a result. There is nothing good about drug use, and he doesn’t necessarily go into graphic detail when describing the characters who use needles, but he does describe in detail those who smoke it.
I always wondered what “smack” was , and now I know that it’s another name for heroine.
What I like most about this book is that he predicts what is non-drug users don’t k...

“Teenage Degenerate is a heartbreaking, vivid account of the disintegration of human lives caused by crystal meth addiction, and of one young man’s fight to get free before it kills him.” – IndieReader
Below is a portion of the IndieReader Review:
In 1996, Scott, a young adult with no goals or sense of purpose in life, tried crystal methamphetamine for the first time, and was hooked. From then on, his life became focused around his next fix, sometimes staying high for days on end. He quits o...
