GREAT BOOK IF YOU CAN FIND IT!, April 8 1999
By zoot8@wetv.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ozzy Osbourne: Diary of a Madman (Paperback)
I got this book in the late 80's and I'm glad I bought it when I did, because it is damn hard to find. Mick Wall spends almost equal time for Ozzy's Sabbath years and his solo years(up to The Ultimate Sin). He also goes into Ozzy's childhood with quotes, a few pictures, and interviews that would be hard to find anywhere else. Lots of Sabbath and Blizzard photos too. All the usual Ozzy stories like pissing on the alamo, biting head off dove, plus a few others you might not have heard. All in all a great book if your an Ozzy/Sabbath fan.

Solid mix of text and photos, Oct 13 2004
By PATHERSON - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ozzy Osbourne: Diary of a Madman (Paperback)
Mick Wall, writer of the Iron Maiden official biography "RUN TO THE HILLS", wrote this book back in 1985, and it is totally out of print by now... It's a good book, not even near the best rock biography ever written, but it does the job. It has very good photos and it gives a good general frame of Ozzy's career up to that point. In this age of Internet, all the information contained here could be obtained without buying the book.

Its A Decent Book For The Time Frame But I Wish There Was An Expanded Version To Incumpass The Next 20 Years Which He Has Done Alot More
