Helpful Score: 2
How is he not dead? Seriously. I've always loved the Chili Peppers' music, but not I'm even more amazed by it. It's a miracle they lived long enough to make it, nevermind actually pulling themselves together enough to make it so *good*!
I thought this was a very unflinching, honest account of a life hard lived. The writing style was engaging and relatable. I appreciated how he managed to quite clearly explain his thought processes at various points in his life, without glamorizing the drug use and chaos and without making excuses or blaming anyone other than himself. I've lost a cousin to drug, so I feel like I can kind of understand his mindset better now than I could back when he was alive (he never had the way with words that Anthony does). Hopefully looking back over his life in the process of writing this book will have given Anthony some perspective and further motivation to stay clean.
