Book Review: The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell
Summary: 5 Stars
I started reading this book expecting it to be a fairly brief description of the life of Brian Warner/Marilyn Manson, but I was very pleasantly surprised when great details about his thinking, and life experiences were brought out in the first couple chapters. I had never realized some of the motives behind his music, and why he had such a horrible reputation at venues for his performances. After reading this book I find him to be a much more interesting individual, and it almost frightens me how much of a genius he is. There are elaborate reasons for everything he does in his shows, and for the lyrics in his songs. People took things out of context, or didn't understand them when he was at his prime, and thus gave him a really bad reputation that has carried over to what people think about him today. Read the book and you will understand what I mean.Book Review: Still a great read

I first read this book about 4 years ago, I remember loving it then and reading it about 3 times back to back, feeling satisfied. I don't support all his opinions, but that's not what this review is about. About 3 months ago, I bought one of my friends who is a Marilyn Manson fan this book, and I ended up borrowing it from her and reading it again, to see if I still felt the same way after the initial "manson craze," had died off. It was still an excellent read and I read it in the same 2 day period as before, laughing at his childhood antics, sense of humor, and various inner thoughts. This is still one of the best books I've ever read. (Not because I don't read either!) I would recommend this to anyone, who isn't afraid to let go of their tight grip on a supposed reality, relax, and enjoy a unique book. It's a good one.Book Review: It's not the better!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Manson for a while but loved him for his music. I decided that I wanted to know the man behind the make-up and glitter. I purchased the book and started to read what I think is one of the best books I have ever read. I saw what the haters and critics refuse to see; a person with real thoughts and beliefs just like anyone else off the street. Some of his stories can turn your stomach but most have you laughing (or maybe that's just me and I'm crazy, I don't know). Every chapter is better than the one before it. The photos are very creative with a hint of raunch, but what else would you expect? I carried the book around with me everywhere I went just in case I had a second to read a line here or there. I even had a woman ask me if it was my bible, I laughed and said no its not the bible.........its better.Book Review: vile, true, dirty.....I LOVE IT!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolute wonderful book. It's one of those books your can't put down, just wonderful. You do not (as many people dont know) need to be a Manson fan to read this or even to enjoy it. It tells you some of his most private details of his life, and in such great wording. The reason why people would not [like] this book, is because they are judgemental, people look at Manson and assume hes a stupid rocker, they judge him by his image, which is wrong. He is one of the few artists that actually have something to say, and isnt afraid to say it.
But back to the book: words cant describe how awesome it is, it tells the story of his chilhood, his fight against [certain] people, how he overcame it and his triumphs. And it comes with some very cool color photos. So i highly encourage ANYONE to buy this book, its art.
Book Review: Thrilling, and powerful

Marilyn Manson is an incredible man. He seeks the soul that everyone is afraid to find. He touches your heart in a way that makes you shiver, because he knows the things in your mind that you don;t even know yourself, but you're afraid to find out. I've never read a book that strikes your mind so hard that it blows you away. People may not find him to be a normal person, but sees what is inside of you and he feels the pain that you're experiencing, only because he himself has experienced all of what could be going through your mind. The last thing that I can say about Marilyn Manson is you may think he's sick, you may think he's gross, hey you might even vomit at the sight of him, but he is you. He is what you've dreamt about, thought about, read about, talked about, and heard about. He is your every fantasy!
