The Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson, Neil Strauss (1999, Paperback)

Marilyn Manson is one hot controversial subject. I strongly recommend this book to any Manson fan, but probably not so much for those who don't agree with his views or care for the man himself.

This book is his autobiography. It is very thorough and detailed, leaving little to the imagination. He highlights important events that have shaped him into the superstar he has become. He also sheds some light on the who's, what's, and why's of his beliefs and actions. A very captivating story written with eloquent speach. This memoir of his personal accounts is easy to read and hard to put down.

I do not recommend this book to anyone who is squeamish or closed-minded. It takes an open mind and good deal of Marilyn Manson understanding to fully appreciate the read. If you are a Marilyn Manson fan and want to get to know a little more about his life, family, background and history, give this book a try!

Also, I found this book especially interesting from a psychological standpoint. If you have any background with psychology, you should be able to get more from this book than the average reader.

I love the title itself. I'm just a fan and have read it before. I am Very Glad That Seattle Goodwill Made it possible for me to purchase such a great title at a good price all while giving back to the community. A+ Seller 10/10 Book

well to be honest some one told me that his friend wanted this book and if i could find it get it so i figured go to ebay and get it there which i did i'm not really a fan of his but if i read the book i can give a review then.

A very unique view into the life of one of this century's most well known yet misunderstood celebrities.... learn what makes Manson, Manson

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson is completely written by Manson himself. It dives into his personal and professional life. His personal life being to how he was raised and taught. And professional in a way that explains what he does, and why he does it. It's not exactly PG or ANYTHING close to it. But it explains why and what his message to people really is, and how he got to where he is today.

I was rather disgusted by some parts of the book but overall, it's a entertaining book for a nothing planned Friday night. I personally do not suggest this book for readers under the age of 17 since it is rather graphic and sexual.

This book is a wonderful autobiography. Very informative yet intriguing. You learn a lot about Manson and his past. If you are interested in the life of a shock rock star, this is a great read.

Everything was great, perfect seller, deliver was fast and payment went through without a hitch. Thanks for the great sale

Fast Shipping, Great Communcaition! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not get the chance to read this book. We had to send it back. I really would have liked to read it though.

Great book, Recommended for any Marilyn Manson fan, awesome pictures, and great stories about Brian Warner growing up!

Like Manson, relatively disturbed/disturbing. However there was only one shocking thing revealed that is so embarrassing that I am really surprised that he included it in the book...The poor little guy, I feel so sorry for him, I hope he has remedied the situation. I am surprised that he didn't go into hiding after the book came out until the hub-bub around the disclosure of this very personal and embarrassing detail went away...

He can't drive stick!?!?!?

Now if he had grown up in NY or somewhere where driving isn't that big of a deal, but he grew up in Canton, OH...don't think they have a subway there.

I LOved this book. It was in great condition, and shiped out in good time. I love Manson and this seller is one that i will come back to agian and agina!

I stumbled upon this book by chance. Purchasing a variety of musician's autobiographies and the like on a website caused this to come up as a recommendation.

It could not have been better timing. Having spent the nineties as a yuppie, I would not have been ready for Marilyn Manson. I have since been reborn as an outspoken proponent of personal freedom and expression.

Reading this book opened my eyes to the brilliant mind of one Brian Warner (aka Mr. Manson). Subsequently heard interviews have told me what I should have guessed - truth is subjective in this autobiography.

In his own voice I heard that there is a considerable amount of fact in the tales. Also, and keeping true to his artistic nature, it is liberally sprinkled with what he WANTS people to know and think.

I daresay this is how he lives his life. We probably learn more from this material than we could in spending time with the guy. What you see isn't always what you get.

It's sharply written, a double edged sword that spares its author least of all. Mr. Manson credits Neill Strauss with his guidance in objectivity. In the same interview he mentions that his mother's least favorite part was when he let on that she allows her pet rats inside her brassiere. The guy is smart AND funny.

Irreverence, silliness, intelligence, and honest humility (gasp!) are all throughout the book. It was literally hard to put down. This is an honest admission, more true for this book than anything else I've read in a very long time.

I'm glad I bought it as opposed to borrowing it from a library (do they even carry it?) because I've all ready revisited certain portions. And no, it is NOT recommended for the faint of heart, unsurprisingly. If not 100% honest, it is surgically precise in graphic depiction of many occurrences.

Another thing I heard from the man himself is that one word he would use to sum himself up is a#@hole, at least in some of the ways he has treated people. It made him rethink his actions and his attitude. Perhaps we should all be forced to look at our own lives so deeply.

Reading this showed me how deeply I agree with what he REALLY represents. Not satan worship or violent behavior but individuality. He tells us we should stand up for what we believe. I'd all ready been leaning toward greater self expression in my daily appearance and, more ironically, short story writing, so this was truly inspiring.

I have since begun devouring every tidbit within reason: CD interview collections, every LP, EP, remix, and demo, so potential readers of "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell" beware. Reading it just may cause you to become the next Marilyn Manson addict.
