I am Ozzy Book

I am 45 years old and the first "heavy metal" record I bought was Paranoid, nuff said!
Although if you read the book Ozzy doesn't really like the term "heavy metal". After reading Sharon's 2 books which gives you plenty of insight on Ozzy's world from her perspective I couldn't wait to see what Ozzy had to say about it all. I read the whole book in just over a day, I just couldn't put it down. Unlike other autobiographies by people I love and admire there are always those few pages that bore you just a little bit. Not this one! I was spellbound, catapulted into Ozzie's world and what a world it was! The book flowed effortlessly from one drama to another which in Ozzie's world was one day to the next. His candid tales of events were funny, sad , thought provoking, honest and oh did I say sometimes really funny! I was left wanting more, his writing so descriptive of events (even though he may have had help here!)You are left feeling like you have lived those days with him and you want them to carry on. Overall a brilliant read even for someone who isn't a fan of the "prince of darkness! I saw him in Birmingham at his book signing but didn't get a chance to meet him, shame that. One last point - how is this guy still alive? Beats me!

Has there ever been a more extraordinary rock-star story than Ozzy Osbourne's? Born into a life so poor that the whole family slept in one room Ozzy endured a tough upbringing. Music was his salvation and his band Black Sabbath went on to change the music scene forever. But along with the rock and roll came the inevitable sex and drugs and Ozzy fell into a long relationship with addictive substances. The stories of Ozzy's days on the road are legendary - biting the head off a live bat losing his best friend and writing partner Randy Rhoades in a tragic plane crash - but few know of the real heartbreak he suffered during those days of excess. In the end it was love that saved him: the love of his wife Sharon and kids Kelly Jack and Aimee. In his highly anticipated autobiography Ozzy comes clean: in all senses.
