 5/5⭐

While I'm not a huge (auto)biography reader, this one really was a ride to read through. Gave me a lot of unexpected insight as a person who is only Ozzy's casual music enjoyer. He seemed really personable and reflective. Definitely witty so I found myself often laughing in the middle of outrageous scenes that I would not like to witness nor experience myself ever.

I find no reason to lower this rating. While this book didn't make me a raving fan, it's one of those reads that gave me perspective and left both an impression and an impact. (less)

This was a very interesting read and a nice insight on the legend. It is a bit all over the place but it’s definitely written in ozzys voice and thoughts

funny hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This book is a perfect book to learn how Ozzy became Ozzy, from him being an extremely poor kid in Birmingham to being a rock god in America, this book is full of the ups and downs of his life. It shows how normal Ozzy and Sharon really are and has some very shocking and wild stories in it.

This is the funniest book I've ever read. I actually had to put the book down a few times because I was laughing so hard! When you read this, you can't help but read it in Ozzy's voice, and he writes just like he talks.
