Their story is hilarious, heartbreaking, and hopeful. The Dirt details Mötley Crüe’s rise to fame as well as the band’s end. There were so many moments that I found myself actually laughing out loud, and yet, they could have me ready to scream or cry the next moment. The Crüe men convey the sense of wildness and adventure so well that the feeling is almost tangible. I loved that they did not hide their darkest moments in an attempt to make themselves look like better men; they acknowledge the pain they have caused themselves and others. Each member explains some of the past traumas and experiences they went through that made them the men they are- but they also admit that they weren’t always able to overcome those moments in life. The most heartbreaking moment of all was Vince’s chapter about Skylar; seeing her little chubby cheeks in combination with learning of the hell she went through left me ready to cry. I can’t begin to imagine the depths of pain and helplessness in that situation. After reading each members’ stories, it is no wonder that they all come off a tad bit crazy; it was also likely partially why their music was so great. I do warn that there is an abundance of sex and chaos, and enough drugs to make you wonder if *you* are the only sober one left (I can bet that the story is more fun though if you’re not). Readers, approach with caution- this book is not for the sensitive or weak-of-heart ⚠️
