Product Description
In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Motley Crue'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 Motley Crue 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.

I purchased this Book for my 15 year old Daughter and ended up getting into myself. It is a very interesting look into the life of Nikki Sixx during the mid to late 80's. Very good book. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Motley Crue. The book arrived very quickly. I was very please with the whole order process
 Mature audience only December 1, 2008
I bought this book for my students in high school. I had seen some of them reading it and they recommended it. I teach Resource English and I have some at-risk students would could benefit from his rough road through Heroin. The language is very mature though and I needed to be selective on who I thought would appreciate the book and not get lost in the language.
