An interesting book. I know some of the band members and this does articulate some of their adventures. Not for the faint of heart

I've got to admit when I saw this book offered on my library's e-book list I jumped at the chance to download it. Not because I was a big Guns N Roses fan growing up, I barely listened to the band and if I did it was only to hear their most famous songs at the time. No, the reason I wanted to read it was because I watched Steven Adler's struggle with addiction on Celebrity Rehab. While I wanted this to be one of those books I just devour (no pun intended) I was suprised at how apathetic I was to his life and struggle. I think I've narrowed it down to the fact that when he tells a story of something going wrong it's because he chalks it up to his crappy luck. In every story he comes out as the one that was wronged. Yes, he knows that he did wrong but really their wrong was worse than his. Or so he would like to believe. I'd love to see him finally battle his addiction but he even says that he's now clean and sober not because he truly wants to be but because if he messes up he's looking at mandatory jail. If you're looking for a book that is literally about sex, drugs and rock and roll this is for you.
