The Heroin Diaries (English)

Though glam-rockers Motley Crue had their heyday in the 1980s, the band has managed, both together and individually, to stay close to the spotlight ever since, even in the realm of the written word. The 2001 Crue biography THE DIRT was a bestseller, as was Tommy Lee's 2005 tell-all, TOMMYLAND. This 2007 release allows bassist Nikki Sixx to tell his own story, centered on one harrowing year of heroin and cocaine addiction, and the slow climb back to sobriety. The book is presented as extensive journal excerpts that chronicle the author's daily life as an addict, with present-day commentary by Sixx and his friends and loved ones. This unique story-telling format helps readers get inside the mind of a substance abuser, and come to understand the person behind the wild rock-star persona. minimize
