Amazon.com Review
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

I bought this book for my son and he loved it. I decided to read about this strange man and enjoyed it. He is really an interesting man.

It's good for anyone who reads. If you hate him, this book will educate you on why you're an idiot.
If you hate his music but like his ideas, then this would be a good read.
 The Long Hard Road Out of... Hell? December 5, 2009
Nadeem Muaddi (Washington, DC)
The Long Hard Road Out of Hell reveals that Marilyn Manson is not a product of his environment. Everything that you believe about him is the result of a carefully calculated plan to become the world's most shocking musical and visual artist.
He succeeds in repulsing readers with stories of drugs, fetishism and violence - but tries too hard to convince his audience that he's demented. Unfortunately for him, there's nothing scary about that.
On the plus side, this book dispels rumors and gives fans insight into his motivations. It's not a great rock autobiography, but it's not bad either.
Great service September 26, 2009
A. Johnson (Cincy, Oh)
I got the book in great time and it was in perfect condition for a non new book.
