Poor Dave Navarro,he certainly did like his drugs and whores. What will happen now that he and Carmen Electra are no more?

What a disappointment. I love Dave Navarro, don't get me wrong. But this whole book was poorly written and poorly executed. It's a mish mash of experiences Navarro had throughout one of his heroin-addled years, and honestly, there's not much substance to it (pun not intended). I really didn't care about the stories he told, or the bizarre photo booth type setup of it. It felt incomplete, out of order, and pointless. Like this book was just a way to share his countless drug stories, with no emphasis on the fact that he has since recovered and that things are better now. I did learn a little bit about Navarro while reading this, but none of it was groundbreaking. You aren't missing much if you don't read this, and honestly, there are better rockstar memoirs than this.

Such a pathetic waste of time. Even the photos are boring. I love excessive self-indulgent rock bios, but I couldn't even skim this after two chapters.
