Absolutely recommended. Good book especially when exploring the 70s and 80s. I strongly suggest to anyone that's considering purchasing this book to do it.

Cons
It gets a little thin after a while - not to mention perhaps a little embellished. I read both duff and steven's books and both were far superior to slash's. End result is too laughable to even consider it being a serious look-see of slash's life.
The book is full of mundane and repetitive details about endless parade of nameless girls, parties and drugs. This is not an inspiring read.
I thought the true title of scumbag was mostly axl's. Slash is an incredible musician but his overindulgence got boring and sickening. Axl rose is always portrayed as the big ego and the problem with the band.
