Shocking, enjoyable and absolutely addictive. September 4, 2008
S. Klaveness (Hamar, Norway)
I was a fifteen-year-old bookworm with a taste for soft rock, when my black-clothed, metal-haired TOTAL rocker classmate told me I should buy the Dirt. I went and bought it, took one look at their hair and makeup when I got home and thought... nyah, I'll save it for a rainy day.
One rainy day almost three years later, I opened the book and started reading it. I'd never heard a Mötley song in my life, but my music tastes had rotated towards hard rock and heavy metal. The book was fascinatingly disgusting from the start, and absolutely gripping. I loved it (although it does get fairly depressing after Vince Neil's car crash and the splitups and all that.)
I read it in just a few days. When I finished I thought - What if I don't like their music? That'd be a disaster.
But I marched up to my metal-haired classmate and asked to borrow his iPod, which was chock full of Mötley music.
INSTANTLY HOOKED. What a relief! The music is amazing!
The book remains one of my favourites still, and it stays on my nighttable. I've discussed it with several people, who all comment that they hate all that drug abuse and how it could motivate people to try drugs. But if there's one thing I'm never going to do, it's that! The INSIGHT that these people show came as a total surprise to me, and it heightens the quality of the book a whole lot. Nikki Sixx may be an ****hole, but he knows it!
And to the fans: you shouldn't even wonder about buying this book. Just do it! There's no better way to learn about the world's most notorious rock band.

It's a miracle that these superjunks are still alive. I also think it's a miracle that they sold so many records. The book is awesome, the junks are pretty honest about their mistakes, luck, career etc. Sometimes i laughed, wondered and i must admit that the part about Vince's daughter brought tears in my eyes. A must read.

I don't like their music, I don't particularly like the band members but I read this and was blown away, quite simply the best book I have read. I love the style of it. It's rock and Roll, It's Sex and it's drugs and it's also moving in places. Neil Strauss must be creditted for the style in which the book is written, but the band wrote their own story and what a story it is....
GREAT BOOK! June 19, 2008

I finished Nikki's book and loved it. Jumped straight into this one and loved it as well! It's gotten me on a kick for 80's rock; Skid Row, Kix, Tesla etc...I would recomend this book to anyone that LOVES rock and LOVES Motley Crue.
Best buy ever!!!!!!!!!!! May 30, 2008

Owing to the previous reviews I won't waste your time. Buy and read the book instead, you won't be disappointed!!!
