The Long Hard Road Out of Hell

Summary: It was so good I lit it on fire!
Review: This book is so degraded. As I started reading it I felt sick and uneasy and very degraded. I felt that I should put it down...but I had to finish it so as to get the "whole story". What I see now is that the title,"Long Road Out of Hell" refers to the reader after he has finished reading the book! I originally wanted to read this book just to see what Manson was all about, but quickly realized that after reading two pages, I really didn't want to know! After reading it, I tore out all of the pages and lit it on fire, so that way no one else can be influenced or contaminated by it. There was one very good thing about it though: It helped me to have more realization about the importance of taking up a spiritual path in this life, because without God consciousness, one's life is very empty, shallow, dark and depressing. It made me appreciate the fact that I had taken up a spiritual path and also increased my compassion to want to assist those who are suffering such a miserable existence.

Summary: Man or monster, you gotta love him
Review: I can't stand here and tell you whether or not Manson is a writer of integrity, a strong person, an intelligent person, or a person of morals and philosophies. My personal opinion is that he is all of these things. But the book held me enthralled for so many different reasons. The most enthralling moment of all was the chapter on the creation of "Antichrist Superstar," an amazing chronicle of how a disturbed man retreated into his past (and to the beginning of his book) to escape the wretched whirlpool of his life, faced terrors about himself that had afflicted him for years, and come out stronger and refreshed, like the Antichrist Superstar described in the album (which, incidentally, meant so much more to me after reading this segment). His section on "The Rules" is a welcolme amusement that never fails to crack me up. I was truly touched by his story.

Summary: I'm not impressed... sorry
Review: Ok, I am a fan of what I have heard of Manson's music (I have "Antichrist Superstar" and "Mechanical Animals"),but his book simply left me bored and unmoved. He is intelegent, but not THAT intelegent. Some of his ideas and beliefs are good,but simple. I truly expected more. One phraze that kept popping in my head throughout the book was "yeah right!" His description of his life is just too over the top. Until I began reading the book I truly did not think he was a fabrication,but I now have to wonder. Don't waste your time or brain cells on this book, stick with decyphering the social commentary he puts in some of his songs (the ones that aren't strickly commercial).

Summary: Very absorbing and funny account of Manson's life
Review: If you ever wanted to know more about the man behind the glam, this is the book for you. Without the bs of an unauthorized biography, you can get a feel for brian warner through his own words. written with help in a very zippy and conversational style, it is hard to put down. you just want to know what he is going to say or do next. I read it in one sitting.

Rating:
Summary: Honest, Smart, N'Sexy
Review: I really loved this book. It kept my attention because it's easy to read and you can't wait to find out what happens next.He is very open about his childhood and other Manson Questions everyone is dying to know. Not to mention his writings, pics,and magazine interviews as well. I gave it four stars because I thought he could have benn a little more in depth about the rest of the band.

Summary: Ohhhhh How Great Cannot Get Any Better
Review: This was a great look into what Manson was and is.About how he was brought up and how his grandfather has such a role in what he is doing today. A lot of people state that he is the Devil himself. It's possible but I really dont think that the Devil would allow someone to know his history like Manson revealed in his book. Great-- what can I say. If you want to read a great bio that will let u know the real story.

Summary: Intelligent, Thought -Provoking
Review: I loved it. I have been a fan of Mr. Manson's for quite a while and was thrilled when I discovered this book. I was not disappointed. I finished it in a day, and was left wanting more. Highly Recommended. His writings here are just as intelligent as his lyrics, and really make you think about yourself and the world around you. 5 stars

Summary: A definate eye opener to the Rock Band Marilyn Manson
Review: Brian Warner: Marilyn Manson, has shown us an interesting insight to his life through his autobiography. Not only does he tell you his life and struggle with the band through his eyes, but it may even change your aspect on life; honestly it has to mine. He delves into his childhood, this is more shocking than from when he was on tour with Nine Inch Nails; which he also explains in the autobiography. He then explains the struggles he has with getting Marilyn Manosn and the spooky kids of the ground If, like me, you have been put off Marilyn Manson by the media, which can be quite bias, view his side of the story before you condem him. Really it is a good, interesting, books. He, it, won't corupt your mind.
