I loved this book. I had read many biographies and I would have to say this just may be the most one by far. Marilyn talks about so many dark things that most other writer would not choose to write about, making thing much different then others.

Overall, this book is a compelling read for fans of Manson and those interested in the darker side of the music industry. It's a candid and brutal autobiography that doesn't shy away from the controversial aspects of Manson's life, making it a fascinating, if not always comfortable, read.

Even at 17 I thought Manson might be taking himself a little bit too seriously.
2021 edit: Christ, he was serious about some of that? I always thought a mark of a good stage persona was the ability to switch it off, to be yourself. Now it seems there is no Brian, it's all Marilyn - a very dangerous man who has hurt people; I hope they can heal.

This book will challenge your idea about reality, society, humanity, and morality. This is why you will either love it or hate it.

I had a lot of mixed feelings through out this book. It went from pity, to hatred, to admiration. I went into it a Manson fan and came out of it even more so. 70% this book, however, I found myself hating him. But as I completed it I realized it was him coming into himself after experiencing, less than normal aspects of childhood. He had to hit rock bottom to become the person he always wanted to be and thats something I can respect, despite the road he may have taken to get there.

I listened to this on audio book and read along
The first half of this book was lemme just say... painful.
I felt in the first half of the book MM is exactly the type of person everyone expects him to be and that was kind of disappointing. And just his cringey conquest to get laid and do drugs was painful but as the book progressed it got a lot more mature and he starts to talk more in depth about his views which was really interesting. I loved the artwork and pictures throughout.

Yeah, I read this. Still own it, actually. Ah, the sweet innocent days when I was still a Mansonaholic. ::sigh::
As far as celeb autobiographies go, it's pretty out there. You really can't appreciate it unless you're a fan of his music. Otherwise, he kinda just sounds like a jackass.
Side note: This book came out on my mother's birthday. It was a very, very bad day.
