Book Description
I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers, but what about pizza? It is three in the afternoon and the man slowly rolling out of bed next to me with a slice of pepperoni pizza stuck to his back is none other than...Ace Frehley from KISS. I realize to the average person this might seem strange, but it is business as usual when you are with Ace. There was no telling what you could be a witness to. Ace was a vampire, staying up all hours of the night. I would only find out about all of the mischief he had done during the night after we ate our afternoon breakfast. At first, I really couldn't figure out how he did all he did on so little sleep. But who knows how they do things on planet "Jendal". Sometimes, in a moment of rare sobriety, I would wonder how I got myself into this position. I was a small town girl in her twenties who had never even seen cocaine, only drank on occasion and who had never experienced a "one night stand" or a sexual liaison with a married man. Well, I am about to tell you how it all happened, how I got sucked Into The Void... With Ace Frehley.

If you like to read about rock stars and and the people they hang with this is a book for you. The author did a good job of describing what it was like to work, eat, sleep, and do drugs & drink with Ace of KISS. Do I think that she was placed into the Void by ACE? No. What a person chooses or not chooses it solely up to the individual. Over all it was a good read.

I grew up loving KISS. Were it not for that band, I would have never had gotten the idea to play guitar, and start performing in bands. They changed my life, and Ace was my hero. So I couldn't pass up this book, as I wanted to know what the more "recent" Ace was like.
The timeline in this book takes place as Ace is preparing for for the original reunion tour in the late '90's. The author finnagles her way into his life and becomes his personal assitant/girlfriend. She spins tales of massive drug abuse, by her and Ace, as well as shares stories of general Ace wackiness. None of her stories surprised me, as I know what band life, and band guys, can be like. And when you add the massive scale of the KISS machine, and it's finances behind it all, it gets even more crazy. Ace claims to be sober these days, and I hope it's true. I hope he's around for a LONG time.
This is a great book for serious KISS fans who want to know all there is to know about the band. It's certainly not a "how to" on being in a band per se, but it is full of great stories, and a lot of crazy laughs.
I highly recommend this book to hardcore KISS fans looking for all there is to know about them, and the internal workings of the band, and of Ace.
This Book Is OK-- April 28, 2007

I read this book in one day. I have always been an Ace fan myself. Nothing in the book is really surprising. Obviously Moore wrote this book to cash in on the experience. The sad thing I got from this is that all characters, Gene, Paul, Wendy, everybody involved was doing these things for financial gain. There is no human element of friendship, loyalty, or anything like that between any of the KISS people, wives, girlfriends- None of these people like each other at all. SAD.Otherwise, Moore's prejudices (she doesn't like short haired, short people) etc seem a little shallow and annoying, and she has no repect for any of them.
 Character Assassination Backfires March 13, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is so awfully prejudiced that it ultimately provides nil insight into Ace's personality, from someone who claims to have known him well. Rather it is a spiteful backstab which, given the obvious character assassination attempt, badly misfires to make Wendy Moore look two faced, backstabbing, self serving, sexist, ignorant, using and very very desperate. [...]

It was good, if your an Ace Frehley fan.
Wendy Moore on the other hand seemed like a complete air head and too easily influenced and that is why she went from Cocaine to Heroin. Ace is a pig and revolting but that shouldnt surprise anyone, Wendy is revolting too.
The comments made about Paul Stanley I do wonder about and dont trust because Wendy made a comment such as.." The things I was told about Paul I would never write about,as its too personal." Something of that nature perhaps not the correct wording I dont have the book in front of me right now.
However, I did wonder if she didnt write about that because its too personal then why write about Ace Frehley as all of that was personal.
I did believe the comments about Gene Simmons though, its only obvious with him as he portrays him self that way in public.
Good book, if you like reading about rock stars who are angry, womanizers, drug addicted and the dumb women who want to be around them.
