Set against the frenzied world of heavy metal superstardom, the co-founder of Motley Crue offers an unflinching and gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction. It follows him during the year he plunged to rock bottom and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

As some of you might know, I am the biggest Motley Crue fan even thou I wasn’t around when they were the biggest in late 80s and 90s. And I need to admit that Nikki Sixx in his 20s and 30s was my all time biggest crush growing up. With that being said lets get into this review.

I always knew that Nikki Sixx went through some very big shit in his life to overdosing multiple times and he struggled with alcohol, cocaine, acid and heroine but them this big was a very big eye opener. Since fuck this book is very dark, depressing and it really shows us how much shit he went through.

One of the things this book make me think as I was reading this book was “How the fuck is this guy still alive?”. Its a big miracle that we still have Nikki Sixx around, because if I did so much drugs as Nikki did, I would have died in the first week. And he lived like this for years.

This book is Nikki diary entires in 1987 right before he overdosed and died for 2 minutes. And I need to say that this book is very heavy, I really think that this book will really stick with me for the rest of my life just because how heavy and dark it was but also because how much of a difficult time I had reading this book. 

To be honest here, after reading this book I became even bigger fan and fan girl of Nikki Sixx. Because damn, he went through very dark times which almost no one else will go through in their lives. 

If you are looking for a very heavy and dark nonfiction book then this book is a perfect go-to book. If you are a fan of motley crue or music in general you really should read this book. Because it truly shows how dark the world of musicians can get and that it is not only the glitch and glamour of earning a load of cash and almost everyone on earth knowing your name. 

After reading this book I need to be honest here and admit that this book is easily the best book and the most heartbreaking book I ever read in my life. And I will for sure re-read this book countless of times in the future. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5
