First off, I'm not an Ozzy fan. I like biographies and saw this one at the library and decided to read it. I'm glad I did! This book has humor running all through it. Some places were laugh out loud funny. I laughed so hard over something that happened with one of Sharon's dogs that I had to read that part to my husband who got a big laugh out of it too.

Having said that, it's not all fun and games for Ozzy. This is the story of his life, failures and success. He has abused his body so much over the years with drugs and alcohol that I'm amazed he's still alive! So is he. I didn't know that Ozzy had been married before Sharon and had 2 children with his first wife. He needed someone strong like Sharon that wasn't going to put up with his crap, yet who has his best interest at heart.


Reading about Ozzy's life as a rocker was pretty much what you would expect. Sex, drugs and rock & roll, all in excess. I would definitely recommend this book even if you're not a fan. It's a quick read and you'll learn a lot about what shaped Ozzy and made him who he is, the good and the bad.
