Advantages: Great stories in every chapter, I laughed out loud numerous times, touching in places

Disadvantages: How reliable are the stories?

I have a thing for Rock and Roll biographies. I've read Aerosmiths, Motley Crue, Slash and more. And I this book is my favourite.

Although lets start with the negatives: Its too short, not enough detail on the last 10-15 years. Also many times full conversations are transcribed and given some are 30 years ago and Ozzy was drunk at the time I'm not sure how he could remember them so clearly!

Ok now the good. Its a very very entertaining book that I couldn't put down. It covers Ozzy's childhood, starting out with Black Sabbath in detail then going Solo and his family life.
Ozzy is brutally honest he doesn't shirk from telling stories that show him in a bad light.
Its touching in places when covering him as a father and Sharon's role in his life.

The one thing that stands out is how the hell is this man still alive? He should have died numerous times over the years but he's still going strong and here to tell his amazing story. I highly recommend it, not just for fans of Ozzy or fans of Rock and Roll.

Summary: Great read I laughed all the way through
