Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 782.42166092 EAN: 9780743486286 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0743486285 Label: Pocket Books Manufacturer: Pocket Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 432 Publication Date: September 18, 2007 Publisher: Pocket Books Studio: Pocket Books Editorial Review: Product Description: In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Interesting read about addictionI didn't know I was going to enjoy reading about someone's drug addiction so much! I am not an addict and its not something I ever thought I would read about in this type of forum but I like Motley Crue and Nikki. I think what makes this book so interesting is that it seems so honest. Nikki didn't hold back (or at least he didn't appear to) on some nasty details about what he was doing. I realize he wrote these journal entries while he was using but he didn't skimp on publishing some ...

Between Nikki's diary entries there is recent written commentary looking back at the time period that the diary was written by Nikki, other members of Motley Crue, their managers and Nikki's friends. Even if you aren't a big reader, you won't want to put this book down. It is INTENSE! Rating: - VERY INTERESTING BOOK.........VERY INTERESTING BOOK, AMAZING THAT NIKKI IS STILL ALIVE, LOVE THE BOOK & I FEEL IT WILL HELP MANY WHO HAVE AN ADDICTION. Rating: - Oh My God !This book was amazing. I have always been a big Motley Crue fan but after reading this,screw the Crue! It's Nikki all the way. He is fantastic. Rating: - Definately Worth ReadingWhen I picked up this book, it was mostly out of curiosity. I'd never heard of a book with a sountrack, and I loved the single "Life is Beautiful." Once I opened it, however, I just had to keep going, if only to find out how Nikki Sixx could possibly have made it out without kicking the bucket for good. Both the diary entries and the commentary from Sixx's friends and associates are very powerful. I have never read anything like it. Alongside entries that focus on his addiction, ... Read More |
