Ozzy tells it like it is. He starts with his poor roots in England, a boy struggling in school, with two parents who worked to the bone to provide for their children. After a stint in jail, Ozzy resolves not to go down a path of crime and finds similar friends with musical tastes - Tommi Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler. They come together and form Black Sabbath. All are hard working musicians and their talent pays off. Ozzy goes on to describe his vices, drinking, drugs, and women, how he left the band, his solo career and life with Sharon and their kids.

Learning more about Ozzy Osbourne, his life, what made him tick, and it also shows a little about what life was like growing up in post World War II England.

Ozzy's honesty and voice comes across clear in the book. There were some places were Ozzy really made me laugh.

I did like the book very much, but some of the things Ozzy did made me sad. There are incredible lows in the book.

Jam to my Ozzy music. I'm looking forward to reading Last Rites.

Like I learned a lot about Ozzy.

It's gritty, gripping and candidly honest.

Ozzy did some wild stuff. You have to be prepared to read it.
