The Heroin Diaries Vol. 2

       The Heroin Diaries has kept me intrigued from the very start of the book. Nikki Sixx is truly one of the coolest human beings ever. In the book, he talks about so many points and different aspects to life. He is telling his story, but also is using the power of his story to inform others, and even possibly help someone else going through the same struggles he did. He even goes out of his way to say, "If I could ever get myself straight I know I could help others. But you can't help anybody unless you help yourself..." (Pg. 244). It's crazy the way Nikki handles his addiction and it's probably not the best way either, but somehow he ends up recovering.
       Something I find interesting is that Nikki loved and longed to go back to Van Nuys while he was on the Girls, Girls, Girls tour. Even though he talks about how he loves to tour and it helps him stay off drugs, it's interesting on how he gets really excited when he has a consecutive amount of days off and is able to go home, and how much he loves it. Even though it's bad for him to go back and he knows it, he can't help himself.
       I also find it odd how even after Nikki cut things off with Vanity, she still shows up to his house and he stays involved with her. Even though he cut her off, he still can't resist to tell her no. She broke into his house, screamed at him, and he punched her in the face. Yet he still sees her. Instead he of telling her no, he tells her "ok" to whatever she asks. He knows it's not healthy to see her because she leads him to do drugs, but he sees her and lets her come see him when he's away anyways.
       As I approach the end of the book, I'm starting to get a little sad. I really don't want this book to end, because it's such a good book. If he would make a book series about his life, that would be pretty awesome.
