Product Description
In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Moetley Cruee's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself.When Moetley Cruee was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

 Awesome, Nikki Sixx is a messed up guy July 24, 2008
After being blown away by "the Dirt" I thought this book would help better understand Nikki. Who I think is the most messed up member of motley. This book is written very well, illustrated well, easy to read. Great for anyone who wants to know more about Nikki Sixx.
Heroin Diares July 17, 2008
This is a great book about Nikki Sixx's struggle with addiction. The book starts off slow however, once you get into it it's an amazing book. I would highly recommend this book for any Motley Crue fan or any Sixx:AM fan (a band based off the book).
Quite a Trip... July 11, 2008
I read this book immediately after reading The Dirt, and it's a good follow-up explaining Nikki's side of the story during a very eventful year in rock stardom, with lots of information that The Dirt had to leave out in order to save space. Mainly, this book describes in detail Nikki's paranoia and loneliness as a drug addict during his off-tour weeks. The things he came up with in his head and took the time to write down in a diary are quite fascinating indeed, and an enjoyable read when you just want to feel like a rock star going through the artistically printed pages.
Awesom July 8, 2008
I have been in love with Nikki Sixx since I was a kid. This is a great book. Love how he opened himself up in it and let you see the real Nikki. How he was and how he overcome his addiction.
AWESOME BOOK!!!! June 24, 2008
One of the best books I have ever read! I have never had a drug or alcohol problem, but I have been a Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue fan for 20 years. It really does let you know how people in that situation feel and what they are thinking. Definately a must have for anyone with someone with a drug problem in their family. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting everything he does is more shocking than the last. ALL HAIL NIKKI SIXX!!!
