It was pretty good. I found it a bit boring after a while. It's just one drug episode after another. I did enjoy reading about being a rockstar, but still.
its a not a masterpiece if we speak the quality of writing and all the other technical stuff. but its one of the easier biografies to read that I have come across. the diary, the comments are well connected and gives you the real idea of the period N.S. lived in. Also the grafic of the book, make you read the story more fluently. Nikki Sixx I dont know who you are sitll around. Good for you but you were one sick m***erf***er!
I stumbled upon the first 30 pages on Nikki Sixx's myspace page back in 2007, and after I finished that small bit I was feeling anxious...I 'needed' to read the rest. Early the next morning I set out for my local Barnes & Noble and bought the book.
It was a fast read, but a nice chunk of information. At times it grows a bit redundant, but in the book's defense, looking at his life, it was pretty redundant itself at times. What I found in this book was an honest description of a man consumed by drugs- feeling as though he would die if he were to quit, but knowing he could only have a short while to life if he remained on them.
It's brutally honest, and easy to relate to- addict or not, but again, it can become quite redundant. I think it's a book that a person would either completely love, or absolutely hate.
I have never been a Motley Crue fan, but found Nikki Sixx's side project Sixx A.M. to be quite good- if you read the book, you should check out their album of the same title- it goes hand in hand.

Crazy, crazy, crazy book to read. Interesting what goes on in the mind of a drug addict.
Loved this book! One of my new favourite music books for sure. Never a fan of Motley, still not, but realize now that has nothing to do with it. Nikki takes the reader through a gritty, honest ride. Recommended to any fan of rock'n'roll or drug/junky related literature.
Absolutely disgusting but should be required reading for any teenage girl who thinks she might be considered special by any musician, especially someone famous. I remember being at one of the concerts he writes about and it's disturbing to read about all the other stuff that was going on before and after the concerts. After I moved to Los Angeles, still kind of in this same time period, I remember hanging out at some of the places he talks about. Again, disgusting to know the extent of things that were going on but I'm not totally surprised as I saw some of these things (and some of the people he talks about) myself. I have to admit, just say no might sound stupid but it's a great idea, especially when heroin is in the picture.
Loved this!! It absolutely astounded me that he published his diary in the darkest times of his life. His thoughts and feelings the entire time just amazed me. These diaries will probably blow your mind and just make you question how the heck Nikki is still alive. The way he lived and his thought process throughout is so different from anything I had ever hear of before. Opened my eyes, just like the Dirt did, but in a good way. Totally recommend this book.
I first read this book years ago and was stunned. The second time around was no different. The audiobook was narrated by Nikki amongst other people. It's raw in its depiction of addiction, mental health struggles and depression.

I first read this book over 11 years ago and I remember saying it saved my life. Upon rereading it, I remember why.
I got a signed copy of The Heroin Diaries when the radio station I worked for picked up Nikki’s syndicated program, Sixx Sense. That was in 2008. I’ve been sleeping on this book for 12 years because the radio show was so incredibly bad. I only didn’t recycle it because it’s signed and it’s a really interesting looking book.
As a person who never actually heard any Crüe apart from Dr. Feelgood, everything in this book was new news to me. For fans of the band, I’m sure a lot of this will confirm rumors and rehash hilarious hi jinx.
The book is Nikki Sixx diaries from 1987 interspersed with relevant quotes from interviews conducted especially for the book.
It’s hard to believe he’s such an intelligent spontaneous person since his radio show was so dumb and lifeless.
The presentation is really beautiful. The prose is sharp and insightful while exploring the depths of addiction and depression. It feels honest and a bit terrifying. And the interviews within aren’t edited to glorify him. Quite the opposite. They tell the truth of what an asshole he was.
