First off I'm a big fan of the show Gene Simmon's Family Jewels. It wasn't until recently that I actually saw the episodes about their relationship troubles on the show. I didn't even think about reading shannon's book because
1. I couldn't find it locally
2. She seemed pretty private on the show when it came to major areas(until the relationship troubles).
I only became interested in reading the book when I decided to get an overall picture before I read Holly Madison's book Down the rabbit hole. Shannon doesn't even mention gene throughout the book, it's mostly about her life. Gene does give a foreword on the book and it was very surprising :o
The thing that bothered me about the book was she had a very busy life before she met gene and then it all stopped. Her early life was interesting and I would have loved to have read more about her and tracy's adventures in LA together but the book just skipped over that. The book does explain quite a bit but also doesn't go into detail, it'll mention something then say it and then move on and it's like whoa wait what?. She definitely sugarcoats a lot when it comes to major areas.
I think she definitely could have written more because after all she's with Gene and she could have said a lot more about their life and her life AFTER she got with him plus all the juicy gossip that comes with hollywood life. I do respect her for picking up the pieces of her life but I also wish she would have stood up for herself before the show got serious about the relationship troubles. Anyhoo great read and definitely a lazy sunday book.

i KNOW in my SOUL that shannon tweed had stories for days and NONE OF THEM ARE IN THIS BOOK!! but on the other hand she does include photos of her sears sweater modeling days so i can't be too pressed about it
