Book Review of I Am Ozzy

I Am Ozzy
ourbookaddiction avatar reviewed on


I absolutely LOVED this book. As a teenager in the 80′s of course I knew of Ozzy Osbourne. I would never call myself a big fan of him or Black Sabbath. I listened to some of their songs but never really considered myself a metal head. I did watch the first season of The Osbournes when it came out on MTV. Watching Ozzy is a little bit like watching a train wreck. You know it is wrong because it is obvious that he is in a bad place, yet you simply cannot turn your head. Here is the reality none of us are perfect so we might as well quit pretending along that line. Reading this book is like hearing Ozzy talk in your head. His ghost writer did an excellent job of keeping Ozzys voice. There were many times where I laughed out loud reading this book. His expressions are just that funny. Beyond that, Ozzy is the first to admit the incredibly stupid things he has done. He is not proud of any of it yet he never tries to glorify or justify the bad decisions he made. He just tells it like it is. Oh, by the way, if you are offended by profanity you do not want to read this book. You wont make it through a paragraph without some multiple f-bombs. Somehow on Ozzyit just works.
