Book Reviews of The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band
Book Review: Wow! Man, be prepared to be blown away!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most people know that Motley Crue was/is a crazy band. We know the stories of them dating playboy playmates, getting crazy with Ozzy Osbourne and doing crazy drugs. But, in The Dirt, you get all the nasty, gutrenching information on one of the greatest Rock N Roll bands to ever walk this earth. The book covers each of the band members childhood. To the suprising story of Vince Neil growing up on Compton, CA and already getting hot chicks at age 16, to Nikki's very strange and sad childhood. The book covers the Crue's early days of partying, which should warn people to be get ready to be shocked, amused, grossed out, stunned and freaked out. The book also captures each of the band members honesty. Neil Strauss not only did a great job of writing, but also getting each band member to open up. The chapater on Vince losing his daughter was very tough to read. I must admit, I got emotional. The stories about all the girls is crazy and fun to read. It makes you feel want to be one of the guy's so much, but then you read about how these guys have sufferd in life as well. Not just with heavy drug use, but losing money and family. At the end of the book, you will most likely take a deep breath and say...Wow! I cannot believe these guys lived through all this. Weather your a Motley Crue fan or even a Rock N Roll fan for that matter, this book is a must read. I always thought only a movie and not a book could blow me away, but I was very wrong after I read "The Dirt"Book Review: The Crue does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dirt was absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. The content was compelling. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, and got to know the boys of Motley Crue on a personal level. Neil Strauss and the guys outdid themselves with this one. I have the Crue's Authorized Biography: The First Five Years, and this book far surpasses the content and style of the former. Even people I know who are not fans have enjoyed passages from the book...surprising due to the nature of the public's love/hate relationship with bad boys. The highest recommendation: my MOM liked it! Buy this book!!!!!Book Review: yawn
Summary: 1 Stars
They already told it all in their Behind the Music. Getting drunk, wrecking a car, killing a friend and maiming two people is not cool. Sorry Vince, but that's not "rock and roll." And then we learn that Nikki Sixx lapped up Ozzy's urine after Ozzy passed out and peed his pants. Pathetic.One star is generous.

Book Review: The Dirt: Once you're in, you'll never want out
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dirt is a furious and vicious rollercoaster ride into the lurid, depraved and deliciously exciting world of Motley Crue. Like any good rollercoaster, this book will can make you cry, laugh and may even turn your stomach a little. And when you've gotten off and have caught your breath, you suddenly find yourself where you started, back on page one, ready for another ride. This book is so well-written it feels more like real-time than reading an autobiography...I guess that explains why I couldn't put it down: on some primative level I know I shouldn't acnowledge, I was afraid I'd miss something. You'll learn all kinds of things you didn't know, things you've always wondered about will be explained, and things you never thought humanly possible will be elaborated upon with titillating detail, as recalled by the 4 original members of the band In short, if you're a Motley Crue fan, you'll love this book. If you hate Motley Crue, you'll love this book. And if you have no idea who Motley Crue is...well, you really NEED this book! Enjoy it, Respectfully, CAT
