I loved the band Sixx:A.M. and their album The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, so I wanted to read the book it was based around. The Heroin Diaries is an amazing story of Nikki Sixx (best known as the bassist of Mötley Crüe) and his struggle with his drug addiction. The Auto Biography show snippets of the rockers diary and the things he went through. I wish I could write a diary that way but I don’t have any addictions to write about.

As someone who once lived with an opiate addict, this was a tough read. But that's part of why it's so good. It's not a book you don't want to put down (I constantly wanted to put it down to get away from the horrible reality of it), it's a book you *can't* put down.

It's also pretty good at revealing Nikki Sixx as the real brains behind Motley Crue.
