Resumen del Editor
The fascinating, shocking, and ultimately quite hopeful story of one teen's downward spiral into mental illness by the best-selling author of Tweak and son of David Sheff (author of Beautiful Boy, the memoir adapted into a movie of the same name starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet).
Miles is the ultimate unreliable narrator - a teen recovering from a schizophrenic breakdown who believes he is getting better - when in reality he is growing worse.
Driven to the point of obsession to find his missing younger brother, Teddy, and wrapped up in a romance that may or may not be the real thing, Miles is forever chasing shadows. As Miles feels his world closing around him, he struggles to keep it open, but what you think you know about his world is actually a blur of gray, and the sharp focus of reality proves startling.
Written by Nic Sheff, son of David Sheff (author of Beautiful Boy, the memoir adapted into a movie of the same name starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet), Schizo is the fascinating, and ultimately quite hopeful, story of one teen's downward spiral into mental illness as he chases the clues to a missing brother. Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and It's Kind of a Funny Story.
“This spare book is a well-written, but painful, read, as readers come to understand the hopelessness Miles feels about his life and his future.” (VOYA)
“In his first novel, memoirist Sheff (Tweak) provides an insightful perspective on one teen’s struggle with mental illness.” (Publishers Weekly)
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Readers fascinated by the dark side of the human mind in realistic fiction will enjoy this deft portrayal of a brain and a life spiraling out of control. Miles is an endearing character whose difficult journey will generate compassion and hope.” (School Library Journal)
“[T]he crafting of the plot and the convergence of the different storylines keeps pages turning. Schizo is a thrilling read for teens.” (VOYA)
"[A}n insightful perspective on one teen’s struggle with mental illness." (Publishers Weekly)

Historia
Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made. Sure, it means a lot of sitting around, which isn't easy for a guy with ADHD, but he can't complain, since he gets to spend the period texting all his friends. Then the doctor asks him to track down the troubled freshman who keeps dodging her, and Adam discovers that the boy is Julian - the foster brother he hasn't seen in five years.

Born into the beautiful bedlam of downtown New York in the eighties, iO Tillett Wright came of age at the intersection of punk, poverty, heroin, and art. This was a world of self-invented characters, glamorous superstars, and strung-out sufferers, ground zero of drag and performance art. Still, no personality was more vibrant and formidable than iO's mother's. Rhonna, a showgirl and young widow, was a mercurial, erratic glamazon. She was iO's fiercest defender and only authority in a world with few boundaries and even fewer indicators of normal life.

David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view, a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.
Before meth, Sheff's son, Nic, was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candor, Sheff traces the first warning signs, the attempts at rehabilitation, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that, whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for one another, too, lest they become addicted to addiction.

It’s been a year since eighteen-year-old River Lang’s best friend died in a car accident. And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials.

And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials.

Historia
My name is Brett. I'm a college-educated man who was once a husband of 26 years with two children, three businesses, and a large home with an actual white picket fence. I'm also a drug addict. And I have a tale to tell. It's about the despair of addiction and the absolute certainty that it can be overcome. Recovery is not simply abstinence, but a process of growing up. I spent my entire life searching for the key to long-term sobriety. I would like to share with you what I have learned.

Historia
A shy, bookish college graduate from a solid middle-class home, Kate Holden was uncertain of her way in life. When she decided to try her first hit of heroin, she did not anticipate that the drug would take over. Desperation drove her first to offer her body on the streets and then in high-class brothels, where she discovered hidden strengths as well as parts of herself that frightened her. With the acceptance and unyielding love of a family that never abandoned her, Kate Holden ultimately defeated the drug and left her netherworld behind.

Historia
After Jason’s world falls apart in LA, he moves to Berkeley for a fresh start with his kid brother. Just one problem: his long-closeted Adderall addiction has exploded into an out-of-control crystal meth binge. Within weeks, Jason plunges into the sprawling ParTy n’ ’Play subculture of the Bay Area’s gay community. It is a wildly decadent scene of drugs, group sex, and criminals, and yet it is also filled with surprising characters, people who are continually subverting Jason’s own presumptions of the stereotypical tweaker.

Obsessed with this author
I have read Nic Sheff's memoirs and this was the first fiction I'd read by him. I love his writing style. Its profoundly different and it reads like a diary or a letter. You can really feel Miles' obsession as your own. Definitely recommend.

A difficult listen, but one worth listening to.
I loved it. The author will bring you on a journey. A empathic one. As I listened, I learned to the love the main character. He's caring. He's loving. He's apologetic.

I had hopes
I hoped this book was going to be good, I read the reviews and thought, well, this is either going to suck or be great, and I had an idea of what the ending might be even before I started the book, and though it was predictable it was really enjoyable.
The way it’s written helps the story, because it halos you focus on what the character is focusing on bringing with it a real sense of how he sees the world.
Lastly and delving a bit into spoiler territory, it ends in a hopeful note, which as someone who deals with mental illness in his family is a good thing to see, or hear.
In any case I would really recomend this book for anyone, but specially for people dealing with any mental illness, either themselves or as family or friends.
(Sorry for the messy review, it’s my first time writing one)

Ehhhh…
I really had high expectations going into this, as I had read the story of Nic Sheff’s addiction through his and his father’s memoirs. I had also just listened to another YA audiobook about a schizophrenic teen going through high school, Made You Up, and I thought it was pretty good. I’m not sure which book came first, but one probably affected the other as they both have very similar premises- even both with a central character named Miles! However, this book put a damper in my expectations, as it was very formulaic and I saw the twist coming a mile (pun not intended) away (maybe because a very similar twist was used in Made You Up). Also, Miles is just not a very sympathetic character. He often rudely addresses people (particularly one of the characters near the end) and his motives aren’t really that complex or compelling. Barely any of the characters were that well developed aside from Miles. And the representation of schizophrenia is mixed (like Made You Up). Only delusions or hallucinations are discussed, no cognitive, disorganized, catatonic, or negative symptoms. Finally, there’s a lot of medication name-dropping that really seemed unnecessary and gave the impression that antipsychotics cure everything.

More please Nic Sheff!!!!
This novel is a true story for so many people, my heart is full of emotion by how far we have come with mental illness. I have been through and around it my whole life. This is a bittersweet story that will make you cry tears of sorrow and joy! I just finished "Tweak" before this which is the memoir of Nic Sheff, as soon as I finished that I rushed to get this. There is one more audio book that I have found but I definitely want more by this smart and sensitive author!!! The narration is just wonderful and even though I am 56, it seems like yesterday that I have been through such sadness. I just want to tell all young people that if you just hang in there, get help and put aside such unnecessary shame...I promise you will be happy. The road is long, but so worth it, it is so amazing to WANT to be alive!!!!

Very much Nic Sheff
I truly enjoyed Sheff's memoirs Tweak and We All Fall Down. This piece of fiction is in a similar style, with similar tone, and similar character dynamics. It is to be expected, writing characters based on your experiences and interactions that mirror your own makes sense, and I am not knocking him for that.
What I will criticize is how the pacing seems to be a bit push and pull, and some of the plot is kind of derivative. This is a story that pulls from some of the great elements of It, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It is hard to avoid writing a coming of age, young adult, narrative that revolves around a protagonist who's mental health is the antagonist and avoid some overlap with the most influential books of a similar topic.
That being said, the story of Miles and his mental health struggles, his relationship with medication, and repeated contemplation of interactions with interests all reflect Nic's recollection of stories from his memoirs that make himself, and in this case Miles, such compelling characters. It absolutely had me entranced with suspense, and emotional at times. Nic Sheff may not write classic literary masterpieces, but he continues to capture the essence of the human experiences faced by young adults with mental health struggles in a way only someone who is deeply familiar can.
One final note is on the performance. Though this is the best of the audio performances among Nic's work, it is still a poor fit. Nic's vernacular mirrors a Kevin Smith script, but every recording feels like the performer has never sworn before. There are hesitations and issues with how phrases are paced/emphasized. If they would just hire someone who has had a single conversation with any degenerate, ever, it would make a massive difference.

Good story
Michael Crouch did an excellent job as usual! The story was good, not great. The "twist" I had figured out around page 53, so not much of a twist for me. But all in all it was an o.k. read/listen. I'm not sure if I'd try another book by this author, but I LOVE Michael Crouch's narration! I actually bought this because he was the narrator.

Well-researched, Predictable, Solid Narration
The plot was interesting enough, albeit predictable. I felt that the author tried too hard to make the book relatable by dropping random curse words. as a person who curses a lot, you're doing it wrong..
On the plus side, Sheff did his homework on Schizophrenia (at least from what little I have read in the subject). He kept the internal struggle somewhat grounded rather than making Miles seem completely out there, like many people assume schizophrenics are. Even the triggers Miles experiences are true to the disease.
The narration was well-done. the voice is exactly how I expected the protagonist to sound. Good choice there!

Predictable, but interesting
This is an interesting take on schizophrenia. The plot itself was predictable, but the narrator is good and fits the character. I enjoyed listening to it, though some may find the YA nature under stimulating. I wouldn't say this novel is profound, but I think the author writes a believable character that the reader or listener can relate to.
