An Amazing Autobiography By An Amazing Man!` June 8, 2008
Being a fan of Marilyn Manson for many years now I had been very interested to read the autobiography in an attempt to actually, truly understand the man and how he came to be what he is. When I finally had the money (I don't have much money) I bought the book and was very excited to finally read it (so excited that I read it in a day). Upon reading the book, wow, fascinating stuff here, everything you could possibly want to know about his origins are in this book and even passages on the band's journey into the mainstream and the work before the "Sweet Dreams" cover in 1996 including the controversy of "My Monkey" and the problems and successes that came with working with Trent Reznor. Chapters on his childhood, his growing up, his good experiences, his bad experiences, losing his virginity, his times with drugs, his many relationships, the forming of the band, the search for the band members, his work before the band including the story he wrote when he was 19; "All In The Family". It's all in here, even a very amusing chapter entitled "The Rules".

After reading this book I can honestly say I have a very good understanding of the man and a new found respect for him. He truly is a very intelligent man with an amazing life story to tell. And all of this by the time he was 29!!!

I urge all people to read this book! If you enjoy his music then this is an essential read to fully understand the man and if you don't like his music this is an important read so that you at least don't just judge the man based on his appearance!

Go! Read! Enjoy! Respect!

A fantastic read. May 25, 2008
I am an avid reader of rock/metal autobiography and I have to say, although I am not a fan of Manson's music, this is by far one of the best I have read. It is crammed full of disturbing, entertaining and thoughtful insights into this man's life and a definite must have for any fan of the rock/metal genre.

Turn around January 3, 2008
I was into Manson's music and on the scene. Whern i read this book i lost a lot of respect for him and his music. For me it was a turn around.
I went from personally identifying with him, to thinking he was a coward, and very weak.
It was a good book, well written, and revealing.

Phenomenal! March 30, 2007

I am a huge fan of Marilyn Manson and have vast amounts of CDs, books and DVDs (Most purchased from Amazon) and this book does top the list. A real insight to Marilyn's sense of humour, life and his attitude to living it. From this book I have expanded my interests and it's all thanks to him and his band. His words just roll with ease and his intellect is apparent from reading this. He is a very smart man and his story pulls you in. He is blunt, down-to-earth and most importantly, brutally honest about himself.
Anyone to read his book will be enlightened, I'm sure of it! It's an amazing read.
