A review by tchristman
The Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Neil Strauss, Marilyn Manson

3.0

While I have never been a huge fan of his music, I always dug his weird antisocial persona. But wow! What a piece of shit. I mean truly. Imagine a horrible person and then times it by 100. He’s a self righteous, egomaniac that is genuinely cruel. I was devastated to hear my beloved Trent Reznor participated in his cruelties. What this is, is an honest portrayal of a depraved rockstar. Imagine being a total piece of shit and then having the power to do whatever you want. This was probably the most disturbing book I have ever read. Some of it literally haunts me. It’s unbelievable what he’s willing to do to his fans. But for what it is, it is pretty well done. So if you feel like diving into the mucky muck, you may enjoy it.
