by Marilyn Manson
Normally I relish a good rock/music memoir. I'm not prude but I detested this.
This was one of those memoirs where they try to fill out the pages with random lists and poems, etc. I was a bit surprised that Marilyn Manson would use the same trick as Jenna Jameson to try to make it seem like there was more to his book than there was. I don't think you can take much of the boo...
I was a fan of Marilyn Manson in my teens, and I read this book back then. I was surprised; I was expecting something more transgressive and less level-headed.

i was so excited to read this book. when it began it was very interesting and honest. by the middle to the end, he begins to ramble on about random crap that i didn't find interesting at all. i began to skip paragraphs and eventually pages trying to just get it over with. big letdown!
I think this book was just as much a show as his stage persona is, therefore I couldn't entirely rate it high because I found the effort neither great, nor could I rate it low because it wasn't lacking. I think when I read this, when it first came out, Marilyn Manson was the freakiest thing on the ...
