A review by cameliagia
The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, by Marilyn Manson, Neil Strauss
5.0
I must confess that this book is an addictive page-turner. I couldn't put it down once I've started it and I wasn't even listening to Marilyn Manson's music at that time.
Actually, I've never had any opinion about him but after reading this book Brian Warner went from 0 to 100 in my eyes. Yes, he seems misogynist and in regards to women he has the mind of a teenager, but nonetheless he is an intelligent, open-minded person with an incredible talent.
This makes me think of the saying "Never judge a book by its cover".
Marilyn Manson has a strong and logical point for everything he did (I'm referring more to the Satanism topic here) and how he incorporated his beliefs in his art.
I will rate this book 5 stars, because not only that I would read it again, anytime, because of its writing style, but also because after putting it down I became a huge admirer of the man whose story is written.
One of my favourite quotes of the book, that just came to my mind, would be:
"I wasn't born with enough middle fingers"
