Decent stories, but very poorly written

This book starts off in chronological order dating back to Bobby Blotzer's childhood, but then the stories are all over the place. It is kind of like a drunk guy telling you random stories over several hours and many cocktails.
Apparently Bobby had help writing this self published book, I would hate to have read his original version, because with the help of two friends there are many typo's, grammatical errors and the layout of the book just does not have any order nor make any sense. It is also laden with half finished stories, which is frustrating since it is just when he is getting to the climax of the story, the sentence ends and he is on to another tale of his life. Bobby also repeats himself continually which is also frustrating.
The good points are, there are some funny stories about various rock stars, so if you are a fan of the 80's hair bands, it has some pretty good points. However, while reading Bobby's perspective, you start to question his integrity, since he often refers to himself as a rock god, but then seems to question himself and then resort to the fact that Ratt were and still are popular, but were no icons. He also has some not so nice things to say about many of the bands and their members of the 80's hair band era. I especially thought his rant about Kevin Dubrow was in poor taste, since Kevin is no longer with us.
This book is also very pricey considering he published it on his own.

Masterpiece in the genre

What amazed me about Bobby Blotzer's unique tale was how well edited the whole concoction was. I challenge anyone to find one grammatical or punctual error throughout the 400-plus pages of this fine piece of reading. Additionally, Blotzer's story spans out in an easy-to-read, nicely flowing way -- it's obvious Blotzer and pal Jim Clayton have taken more than a few English classes in their time! If this book is self-published, then I've got some land in Ireland I'd like to invite everyone to!
Never once does Blotzer's story become cliched or old. The relations he's had over the years as a PI-RATT with fellow RATT band members and crazy metal heads are described in vivid detail and will make you wish you were a part of the Sunset Strip in 1983. His descriptions of a boat outing gone bad with Def Leppard members Phil Collen and the deceased Steve Clark will keep you on the edge of your seat. The highs and lows with RATT are also laid bare for the world to see. If you like Motley Crue, then stories of throwing food out of the window with a young and brash Tommy Lee are only a slice of the mayhem you'll enjoy! Cocaine, booze, classy women and a churlish Stephen Pearcy -- it's all here for pure PI-RATT debauchery for the world to eat up.
So enjoy this immature mess.

I always wondered what happened. Man, they screwed themselves, well they screwed Bobby. He perservered and worked his ass off.
