I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne & Chris Ayres Book Summary

The final word in sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir.
"They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the f**king things at home. I've killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night.

It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour.

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time.

A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain't the devil. I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time."

awesome quick read ... if you want. great book! blew through the first 100 pages, book drug me right in ... then it hit me that there were only 200 pages left so I read 5-10 pages a day until the end just so it would last. What a life story Ozzy's is, he's not what you'd expect if all you know about him is what the media made him out to be over his Rock n Roll days...must read for anyone, even if you are like me and wasn't a fan of his music ... at least I didn't thick I was until I started reading his book and listening to his music and realizing songs I loved growing up were Ozzy.

Awesome!!. Love Ozzy and Loved this book!

Top book. I couldn't put it down, makes me feel like I can go and do anything I put my mind to. Loved it

Ozzy. It's better than I thought it would be. Ozzy obviously has a few more brain cells left than most people think!

Ozzy is God !!. I met Ozzy in December of 2008 at Allstate Arena in Chicago, actually, Rosemont IL, was very happy to have met me, and vise versa. God Bless You Ozzy !!

Very Entertaining Book. I found this book to be quite entertaining. It made me laugh out loud so many times that people must have thought I was nuts. In typical Ozzy fashion, this book does not disappoint. I highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to have a good laugh. Whether you are an Ozzy fan or not I'm sure you will enjoy this book. Cheers!

OOOZZZZYYYY!!!. GREAT BOOK.... I LOVE OZZY... ITS COOL TO LEARN ABOUT HIS LIFE... 5 Stars

I Am Ozzy. Thesis exactly why I had to hide my Ozzy tapes in other tape cases like Simon and Garfunkel or Sandy Patty. - so my Dad wouldn't see it and throw it away!!!!!!

Funny, Honest, Touching, Brilliant. This book creates a clear sense of Ozzy as very human, fallible individual who embraces his fallibility in a way that it very admirable and unique. His life story eclipses all the amazing music he has been a part of for half a decade.

Photos?. Good book, but why are the photos from the paper edition not included in this e-book? Are pictures not important in a biography?

Review. This book is most defiantly The Diary of a Mad Man!

Where are the photos?. First...this has to be my favorite memior to date. I laughed out loud quite a few times. My only beef is the lack of photos which I know exist in the printed version so why not in the ebook version? I give a five star for the story but a one star for the bait and switch.

I Am Ozzy - a great read. I’ve never laughed so much! This book is an honest, hilarious, crazy, read. Ozzy does a great job at keeping everything entertaining, while still truthful.

The Ozzman Rocked It!. Great read and hard to put down. The stories are as hilarious as the man and the prose is spot on to what you would think Ozzy sounds like. Awesome Ozzy, great job!

“That” was Ozzy. Great book. Funny, tragic, memorable and full of character. No wonder he’s a celeb.

Ozzy. Just a wonderful book, laughed out loud. Higy recommended !

Great read!. This was the first paid book I read on my iPad and I had trouble putting it down! I've been a fan of Black Sabbath and Ozzy's musical careers for quite awhile now, and this book had me listening to their discographies all over again! Very humorous read and interesting look at addiction!

Awesome. Ozzy rules!

You have to get this!. I picked it up and from page one you get to know Ozzy. Page after page of pure Ozzy and if you grew up listening to him you need to own this book. A must have for anyone who loves his music.

What a great read.. This was so much fun to read. I love the way that Ozz describes things and his sense of humor is untouchable. The book mostly covers his life with Sabbath and the early years and very little about the crappy show that even Ozz himself hated. All those old stories and he, Tony, Bill and Geezer back then are priceless. He also talks lots about his childhood and growing up the way he did. If you are a fan this book is required reading, if you aren't then you will still enjoy it.

AMAZING BOOK. Amazing book but where are the pictures of ozzy and etc that's why it gets a 3 star rating

Phenomenal. The book confirms how great a person Ozzy really is and what he went through from a blue collar town in England to the Prince of Darkness. His stories are second to none, hilarious, and meaningful as I feel like I know him. I would have loved to meet him down the pub.

I Am Ozzy. Amazing book. I've read it twice so far; it was very well-written. It will make you cry and laugh. Wonderful book. I was satisfied.

This is an addict's story with a happy ending.. What a great storyteller Mr. Osbourne is! And what a great lifesaver Mrs. Osbourne is! I loved reading this book, never a dull moment.

Not an Ozzy Fan. Never was much into this kind of music and only caught a few shows of the Osborne’s but enjoyed reading his life story. Honest, sad and kept me wanting to finish reading it. Well done.

Not for the faint of heart. No holds bar about Ozzy's rich and fascinating life

Awesome. Great book. If you like ozzy you'll love this book

AMAZING!!!. Very good book for fans and non-fans alike!

Great Book!. I really enjoyed this read. While It is a well written funny and sad look at the life of a great man and musician, it also chronicles the extreme daily battles Ozzy has had with the disease of alcoholism and addiction. I highly recommend it!

Funny!!!!. I was never into ozzy music but this book was fun to read. Couldn't put it down. I'm actually a fan of his music now lol. This is a must read!

I wish it were longer. Hysterically funny. Sad as hell. And even better if you read it in Ozzy's voice.

Awesome. I always thought Ozzy was crazy, now I realized he's a pretty cool and funny person. This is the best book to read, but the F-Bombs were a little out of control but it was awesome. Read It and did I mention I'm only 12 ha

Great book. The book was awesome. I am not a fan of the music, but a huge fan of the man. And Sharon is his guardian angel! Great easy read & absolutely hilarious!

A+. The book is amazing! It's down to earth, funny and impossible to put down.

I Am Ozzy. Great read! "Crazy Train". That truly sums up Ozzy Osbourne's life. It hasn't derailed and it's still on the tracks but the cars are definitely uncoupled. Well done Ozzy! I didn't think you could remember...

I am Ozzy. A great read. I started reading it and always wanted to come back to it every chance I got. Not too many books can do that for me but I am Ozzy did. It's a life story of survival and love. The love Sharon has for Ozzy and he has for her, is why he's alive today. Good for them ! Long may they both live !

Terribly entertaining. Couldn't put it down. Great book, amazing story.

Total Rock n Roll. An easy read; well written, funny, and rock n roll like you always dreamed it should be.

Very funny, very entertaining, great story!. Ozzy is one very funny guy! If you read this book with his voice in your head it is absolutely hilarious. He is also one lucky SOB. How he survived that incredible abuse of drugs and alcohol is a medical miracle! Throughout his life, everything just seemed to land in his lap! Black Sabbath, Randy Rhoads, his wife Sharon, his TV show "The Osbournes"...everything just worked out! This is a great story of rock n roll, luck, perseverance, more luck, self-abuse, and yet more luck...all told in great detail, honesty, and humor. It really explains a lot. I've loved Ozzy's music since high school so reading this just explained everything that was really going on behind those classic albums. I recommend it to all Ozzy fans...and to non-fans who just love a good, non-fiction life story. Rock on, Oz!

I am Ozzy. Awesome read. Ozzy and co-author tell a great story that is truly entertaining and inspirational. It's amazing that the Ozzman is still alive!

a must read. this book is incredibly sad yet highly funny i lughed my (arse off)

I am ozzy. Fun quick read

THE MUSIC, THE MADNESS, THE OZZY. I never expected to have so much fun, reading this book. This book is hilarious, It includes ALL of Ozzy Osbournes crazy and lovable stories, and my god, YOU HAVE TO BUY IT AND READ IT!

Priceless!. Ozzy's book clarified all the stories I had heard about him over the years and I even found out about some stories that I never of before. I'm very happy that Ozzy took the time to write this book for us. It's the only way for him to reach out to all his millions of fans and basically hang out with each and every one of us.

Awesome book. Ozzy did an amazing job with this book. Very interesting and entertaining to read. Read it!

Entertaining at its best. I had no expepctations when I started reading this book but it is now my go-to book when I need a laugh! The writing is not the best but the stories makes up for it. I highly recommend the book for its entertainment factor, whether you arr a fan or not!

Very interesting. I have always been a huge Ozzy fan so I found his thoughts and memories to be extremely interesting. Glad he is still at it after all of these years. LET ME HERE YOU SCREAM!!!!!!

Brilliant. Every amazing story

Wawwww ! Unbelievable story. Its amazing!

Outstanding. Funny, poignant, honest. Written exactly like you would expect Ozzy to tell his story. Been a fan since the mid-70's, and it's great to see all the stuff you heard about in snippets over the years put into one book. Great read.

Best Rockography Ever. The only books I really read these days are Rock n' Roll bios and I have to say this is the best I've ever read! I had more LOL moments than I've had in a long time from any book and Black Sabbath is one of my all-time favorite bands, so I loved hearing the stories of their humble (and booze/drug induced) beginnings and following Ozzy through the making of their albums. For a couple of weeks, it was great to live vicariously through this living legend metal God!! OZZY RULES!!

I am Ozzy. Absolutely unbelievable. The most entertainment I've had reading a book! I liked Ozzy before, now I respect him. What a life, what a story, what a man. Dennis

Ozzy. What a funny, crazy , love story! Ozzy is a true legend xo

Look out he's STILL ALIVE. When I finally broke down and bought this book, which by the way means I must really want to read about the subject, anyways I think all who read this book have to really appreciate Ozzy, Sharon and their family for been so open and honest about their lives. This book is amazing and I won't be surprised if it doesn't become a must read in A.A.

Lots of fun!. Reading this book was like sitting "down the pub" with Ozzy and having him tell you story after story in his own words. Lots of laughs....and brutal honesty. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
