The younger generation, particularly those of the rock star persuasion, are compelled to tell all who will listen that they invented all known forms of excess.Having struggled through this fairly banal account of the exploits of 4 of their number, I was reminded of my days in the boy scouts.

I would give this ten stars if I could!!	Customer Rating:
When I read this I only knew one Motley Crue song and I have to say I still prefer this book to any of their music (although I like a few songs). What can I say? This is the best book I have ever read, from the first line I was hooked, you don't have to be a Motley Crue fan or even a rock fan (although that would help), but you DO have to buy this book now!

Shocking, enjoyable and absolutely addictive.

I was a fifteen-year-old bookworm with a taste for soft rock, when my black-clothed, metal-haired TOTAL rocker classmate told me I should buy the Dirt. I went and bought it, took one look at their hair and makeup when I got home and thought... nyah, I'll save it for a rainy day. One rainy day almost three years later, I opened the book and started reading it. I'd never heard a Mötley song in my life, but my music tastes had rotated towards hard rock and heavy metal. The book was fascinatingly disgusting from the start, and absolutely gripping. I loved it (although it does get fairly depressing after Vince Neil's car crash and the splitups and all that.) I read it in just a few days. When I finished I thought - What if I don't like their music? That'd be a disaster. But I marched up to my metal-haired classmate and asked to borrow his iPod, which was chock full of Mötley music. INSTANTLY HOOKED. What a relief! The music is amazing! The book remains one of my favourites still, and it stays on my nighttable. I've discussed it with several people, who all comment that they hate all that drug abuse and how it could motivate people to try drugs. But if there's one thing I'm never going to do, it's that! The INSIGHT that these people show came as a total surprise to me, and it heightens the quality of the book a whole lot. Nikki Sixx may be an ****hole, but he knows it! And to the fans: you shouldn't even wonder about buying this book. Just do it! There's no better way to learn about the world's most notorious rock band.

absurd	Customer Rating:
It's a miracle that these superjunks are still alive. I also think it's a miracle that they sold so many records. The book is awesome, the junks are pretty honest about their mistakes, luck, career etc. Sometimes i laughed, wondered and i must admit that the part about Vince's daughter brought tears in my eyes. A must read.

The Best Book I have Ever Read Bar None	Customer Rating:
I don't like their music, I don't particularly like the band members but I read this and was blown away, quite simply the best book I have read. I love the style of it. It's rock and Roll, It's Sex and it's drugs and it's also moving in places. Neil Strauss must be creditted for the style in which the book is written, but the band wrote their own story and what a story it is....
