(  )-AlyssaE- | May 24, 2009 |   LOVED IT!!!! This book was ever amazing. I loved the everything from the format of the book to the actual text. You can have mommy and daddy tell you "dont do drugs, itll mess your life up" all you want but you can see in this book what really happens when you play with drugs, unfortunately for Jim Morrison he didnt live to tell his tale and fend off his addiction but nikki did, and then was coourageous enough to tell the world, "yes i fucked up, and this is what happened, but i fixed it, it CAN be done" this book i think would be an inspiration to junkies everywhere i think. It gives hope not just on drugs but on anything, because if you can make it through that you can make it through anything. ( )unknown_guitar_demon | Apr 28, 2009 | 1  When I bought this book, I expected many things. The grunge of the world it's told from, and a more honest approach to drug usage and the negative effects of it were things I expected. I did not, however expect to find this world so depressing. The perpetual dejection of such a glamorous individual came as a shock. I didn't expect his world to be pretty, but I also did not expect it to be as dark as it was. The brutal honesty of all of it, many individuals straight up calling him a control freak, or an asshole, in his own book. But the part I loved the most was that it more or less had a happy ending. He relapsed, but is currently clean. He more or less came to forgive his mother. He seems to have becom a better person. ( )FaerytaleMalice | Feb 17, 2009 | A great book about the struggles Nikki sixx goes through in his life. From accidently killing a friend when drunk to trying to pay the bills, and being rich now. Its amazing and shows people how not glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous are. (  )1Ashaynad | Dec 15, 2008 | This book is great. You really get a look into nikkis life and the struggle that he went through. This book i think can be an inspiration to some but, just a great book to read for others. This book has really surprising scenes, and there are some things that nikki does that you wouldn't believe. so if you haven't read it i would recommend reading.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743486285, Hardcover)In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself.When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.
