Diary of addiction
Nikki Sixx touched upon his addiction in Motley Crue's The Dirt. But whereas much of that book comes across as chest thumping - and probably exaggerated - tales of rock star excess, Nikki's solo project, The Heroin Diaries, is just what the title describes. A very personal account of his trials and tribulations with sex, drugs, rock n roll, women, his bandmates, other bands, the media and most of the world for that matter. A great read that is near impossible to put down.

Down to Earth
The day I heard Motley Crue I was addicted. My 1st show was at UCSB w/ Cherry Bombz way back in the day when people would say "who"..... I saw them many times after that. Nikki was my idol. After joining the Army and going overseas for a few years I lost touch with US bands in general. So......this book caught me up with what Nikki and the band were up too for my lost years. It is a very interesting perspective on what really goes on behind stage doors and the emotions and feelings involved with drug use. It brings truth, it brings laughter and tears. The way Nikki expressed his truthfullness about addiction, it helped me understand the how and why people are addicted and the hardship of quitting. Interestingly enough I wonder why people would do that to themselves after reading this!
The book was down to earth from Nikki's heart and soul.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CRUE)
This is a great read! I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine that really likes the Crue. After reading a couple of pages, I realized that I needed to buy it for myself as well. I'm glad I did.

First off, I want to say that I am NOT a big fan of Motley Crue's music. That did not stop me from enjoying the hell out of this book. Nikki really pulled me in and captured my imagination the entire way through.

I would highly recommend this for anyone that is into sex, drugs and/or rock and roll.

Hard to Put Down
This book is amazing. It is both tragic and funny. The stories are non stop and really show how messed up ones life can get when hooked on junk. I highly recommend it.

Another great Motley book
This book continues Nikki's story. If you read the Dirt then you should read this. Big insight on how Vanity was, I think that is the biggest shock. Always heard about her drug use but never read about it and she is not revisiting her past so this is the closest we will ever get.

It also shows how Motley almost did not survive. Nikki is a great songwriter and has proven to be an excellent author. It is just amazing that he had the insight to keep a dairy.

The Dirt and this should be made into a movie.
