What I'm Reading


Right now I'm reading "The Heroin Diaries, A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star" This book is about Nikki Sixx, the bassist/songwritter for the well known band, Motley Crue. This book tells you when, how, and why Nikki Sixx's life got turned up side down, when he went spiraling through his life on drugs, perticularly heroin. The book starts out by telling you about Nikki's life growing up. He tells you about when he was about 1 or 2 years old his father left him and his mother. And when his mother used to pone him off to his grandparents. He says that he basically lived with his grandparents his whole life. Once he was a teenager, he was really into the whole rebel rocker scene, and wanted to start a band of his own. He tells you about his adventures when he first got to hollywood, and Los Angles. It tells you what he did when he found a couple of guys to make a band with. And when they got there big shot at becoming famouse. He tells you about all of the good and the bad things that go on when your in a famouse rock band. But, most of the stuff you get into comes with being a rockstar, and most of it's no good. Nikki states that " Before the band, I only lived for music, now that it started, I only live for the drugs."

Jessica,
I have seen you reading this book and thought, oh wow that looks like a creepy weird book, but reading your blog i think it would be a good book to read. You did a good job talking about what the book was about and what to expect in it.
