This was an awesome story, I would recommend it even if you aren't a Mötley Crüe fan because it gives a person some insight into the life of celebrities. Basically the book is a diary that Nikki Sixx kept from December 1986 to December 1987 and it chronicles his personal life, the band, and his drug use. It took me a little while to read this book because it was so intense that often I could only read a few pages at a time. The things this guy did to his body and lived to tell about is amazing, in fact, he has literally died twice and been revived not to mention other countless over doses. What really amazed me was the lack of response his behavior got from people. Most people just laughed off his drug use and paranoid behavior and allowed him to continue his destructive behavior. As I said earlier, it gives some insight into the celebrity world of today. No wonder some people are so screwed up or act like the law doesn't apply to them: when you have people laughing at your actions and doing nothing more than suggesting you go to rehab once a year, it isn't likely that you'll change. So if you're interested in reading something a bit more intense than you're used to, pick up "The Heroin Diaries". 4 out of 5 Stars.
Since finishing Nikki Sixx's diary, I have picked up "Blonde" again. I'm hoping to be done with it within a few weeks. As much as I miss reading when I can't read for fun, I've read so many books so quickly that I'm getting a little burnt out. I'm going to try to go through this one a little more carefully than the others.

I want you to know that I was wandering the library the other day and came across "The Book Thief" and remembered it was one you mentioned. I picked it up and checked it out and never put it down until I was finished. GREAT READ!
