    <body><![CDATA[A better title would have been a &quot;Year in the Life of a self-absorbed, drug-addled, whining rockstar.&quot;  The book isn't awful.  Nikki Sixx has some decent writing chops, but so much of the book is taken up with the same defeatist, whining, self-hatred that by the fifth or sixth month of it, you find yourself skipping over the boring entries.  One of the book's <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/130916.The_Saving_Graces_A_Novel" title="The Saving Graces  A Novel by Patricia Gaffney">saving grace</a>s is its format - the addition of &quot;after the fact&quot; notes from a variety of people makes the stories so much more interesting.  Hearing how Tommy Lee remembered the same thing that Nikki wrote about while being high, for example, gives you a really shocking look into the delusion of today's addicts.  Borrow this one; don't buy it.]]></body>
