From Publishers Weekly
For a musician who has spent the better half of his life either intoxicated or on a drug high, Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has produced a surprisingly detailed account of his life. Raised in the 1960s and '70s by a drug dealer father who first introduced his preteen son to drugs by mashing them into bananas, the high school delinquent and UCLA dropout seemed destined for a life of rabble-rousing until his high school band—cofounded by close friends Michael "Flea" Balzary and Hillel Slovak—took off and became one of the most popular groups of the 1990s. Though he peppers his book with little known facts (for instance, the author narrowly missed being named Clark Gable Kiedis), the punk-funk rocker dedicates too few pages to his introspective music-writing process and too many to his incessant drug use and revolving door of girlfriends (which included actress Ione Skye, singer Sinéad O'Connor and director Sofia Coppola). But while Kiedis fails to scratch beneath the surface of his fast-lane life, his frankness is moving, especially toward the end of the book, when his mea culpa turns into a full-blown account of recovery and redemption. (Kiedis has been sober for almost four years.) Though not generally as articulate as Marilyn Manson's similar autobiography, Kiedis's story of childhood drug use, adolescent fame and hard-won maturity will strike a chord with fans of Drew Barrymore's Little Girl Lost.

From AudioFile
Now, kids, don't do drugs. But let me tell you how great my drug-driven life was. Narrator Rider Strong does a credible job telling the life story of Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, even though his voice sounds a bit weak in places that call for a strong delivery. But there's something disingenuous about rock stars who warn about the horrors of drug abuse while writing long-winded books describing, in minute detail, the great sex, rollicking adventures, and incredible highs they've experienced. Predictably, Kiedis's world fell apart when the realities of a life of drug abuse came crashing down. Even so, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who's been a selfish jerk his entire life.
