IT'S SO EASY (AND OTHER LIES)

This was definitely not the book I was expecting. I figured it would be similar to Slash's: a detailed description about his drug use, the rise and fall of Guns N' Roses, his upbringing, etc. All of that is in there mind you, but what I wasn't expecting or even aware of was his personal rise after GNR broke up and what his outlets were that helped him defeat his drug and alcohol addictions. Pretty inspirational stuff. He's a good writer as well as I've read his column on ESPN.com before. An enjoyable read for any Guns N' Roses fan but be forewarned: Slash's book is longer with fewer chapters. He seems to have fewer stories but with more details. Duff's on the other hand is shorter. He has more chapters (A LOT more in fact) with fewer details though.
