Book Reviews of The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star
Book Review: Herion Diaries
Summary: 4 Stars
This book will bring you into a world of drugs and Rock n Roll that will shock you!Book Review: Pity Party...
Summary: 2 Stars
Why do we feel such admiration and respect for idiots that use drugs, get hooked, waste a few years of their life, waste money, treat others like garbage and then go to rehab? Whats the deal? How many other "stars" have followed the same formula. "Oh, I'm so rich and famous and my mommy didn't love me enough, poor me...I think I'll use heroin and crack so I get more attention..." Lame!
I'm not buying into this pity party or Nicole Richie's or Britney Spears' or Danny Bonaduchie's or Charlie Sheen's or Lindsey Lohan's. No, I will simply be content with my paltry $60,000.00 a year salary, fairly attractive girlfriend and my occasionally disfunctional family...And you know what, I won't even whine about it or jam a dirty disease infested needle in my arm..
I enjoyed the "Dirt" but I think this book is a contrived, self pitying mess. I don't even think there was any diary. I think this "diary" was written recently and made to look like it was a diary. Too many entrys and terms were self serving and revisionist... Nikki, get back in the studio and try and write some decent music. You appear to have way too much free time...
Book Review: So, so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book makes you feel like you are in the closet with him. You'll want to find Nikki and give him a great big hug...and tell him how proud you are of him!!Book Review: A good autobiography
Summary: 4 Stars
A really easy, fast enjoyable read. A very insightful look into the addiction of heroin by a fascinating author. Highly recommended!Book Review: Whiny, Spoiled Rockstar
Summary: 3 Stars
I love it when rockstars use their childhood memories as a basis to do drugs. Like they are the only people who have had a terrible childhood and must act out by doing drugs and destroying everything and everyone around them. Get over it already. Really. I found the book to be tedious at times, sometimes entertaining, but overall, I really just wanted to tell him to "F%$K off" and get over himself. "mommy didn't love me", "daddy desserted me", blah blah blah. Sucks for him, but the reality of life is that sometimes you don't win the parent lottery. I finished the book wondering whether his legacy for his children would leave them feeling as empty and abandoned as he himself had....the touring, the cheating on mommy on the road, the countless hours in the studio...absent father? I think so. Book is worth reading, but don't get sucked into his pity party...it's sort of pathetic.
