Last Friday I picked up "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell" written by Brian Warner, more popularly known as Marilyn Manson. Whether you're a fan of Marilyn Manson or hate everything you think he stands for, I suggest this book to you. The book is extremely well-written and oftentimes even poetic. As such, it is also incredibly detailed, and most of the stories in Warner's life are not what you'd call pretty or clean.
I don't suggest this book to anyone who has lived, or does live a sheltered life. While I think this book is very important and entertaining, It is in nature openly vulgar, grotesque and morbid. Well it's also something else, and that is truthful. Warner displays a very accurate account of how alot of things are, whether most of us decide not to look or pay attention. He doesn't beat around the bush, and it makes it all that much more brutally truthful and out there in the open.
If you can bring yourself to go into this book objectively I think you'll really find that you enjoy it. I read the entire book on Friday night and Saturday morning, I simply could not put it down. It was a New York Times Bestsellar, so I guess I'm not alone on my opinion of the text. Just wanted to let you all know about the positive experience it was for me, and suggest it to anyone who is interested.
