Summary

Breaking Bad meets The Basketball Diaries!

In 1996, Scott was nineteen and lost in adulthood with an endless job and no future ambitions. Teenage Degenerate is his story about drug addiction, music and growing up. Over the course of ten months, he quickly descends into the dark and dangerous world of crystal methamphetamine.

Scott experiments with crystal meth in a dark, deserted parking lot in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado and soon after his crew of misfits will do almost anything for their next high. One by one, family and friends disappear, and he is left alone with a decision to continue fighting or give up. This is his struggle to reclaim a normal life and the search for something real.

Teenage Degenerate is a brutally truthful, humorous and heartbreaking journey that explores the depths of addiction.

Very involving.

Very involving although depressing story. Also, too short. I wish the author expanded on the getting out of drugs chapter of his life.

Trash

Having read loads of memoirs and quit lit regarding addiction this is quite frankly one of the worst books I’ve listened too. It’s self-indulgent tripe which in parts was utterly offensive, if you like a slice of misogyny it will be for you. Tripe.
