Book Reviews of The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
Book Review: contemporary American reality
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're unfamiliar with the genius of his music the book is still worth reading; if you're unfamiliar with the use of recreational products then you may miss some of the more salient points. It's nothing less than a indictment of our sick society & the misunderstand and unappreciated bi-products of that degenerative culture we call America. I found myself identifying with the man for a majority of the book; so there is another alien life form out there that still can't find his spaceship. The only criticism is that it just didn't last long enough; could have been much longer in my opinion....maybe he'll do a sequel!
Summary of The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
From the world's most controversial rock star comes his shocking, confessional and revealing life story. In The Long Hard Road Out of Hell,?Marilyn Manson candidly and vividly recounts his metamorphosis from a frightened Christian schoolboy into the most feared and revered celebrity in America.One doesn't usually think of rock stars as insightful, but, against all odds, glam-trash superstar Marilyn Manson has written a book that is actually an intelligent look at growing up. This autobiographical bildungsroman brings out the creepiest aspects of childhood, conveying the terror and fascination that young Marilyn (then called Brian) felt when looking through his grandfather's pornography, getting his first French kiss, and being taunted by the girls he wanted to "date." Manson has the benefit of having grown up as an outcast and loser and then having become a star without forgetting what he went through. This gives him an incredibly broad perspective, which he brings to bear on his ordinary life in order to convey the more potent and frightening moments that shaped him into the pale-skinned weirdo that the Christian Right loves to hate. Best of all, Manson is shockingly honest, and portrays himself as occasionally stupid, self-centered, over-sensitive, ignoble, and, mostly, highly fallible and human. It's a long way from the auto-hagiographies that other stars have written, and it's easily one of the best reads in celebrity bio. --James DiGiovanna
