Kelly Osbourne is the daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne (Ozzy, former lead singer of the (metal) rock group Black Sabbath and now doing his own thing musically as self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness – her mother, Sharon managed Ozzy and other rock performers.) Kelly grew up at home and on the road with other rock bands and their families. She was introduced to a lot of information at an early age and finds her background formed her personality into the no nonsense person she has become. She feels her life has been a great education if edgy and she has been besties and roommates with Amy Winehouse and pretty much any rock/metal performers needing a place to crash when they were in town. Kelly has experimented with many things in her life and in this book she examines and sometimes glorifies the fun she had along the way making NO apologies for any of the turns and twists her life has taken as everything she has gone through has served her in some way. The book is written in letter form with each letter directed to a different person and/or thing (Her Mom, Her Dad, Her Brother, Her Vagina, Her Lyme Disease, Her Best Friend Joan Rivers, etc.). She speaks openly to her addictions, to the loss of several friends who died of overdoses, so many things it is a real fun down the rabbit-hole of her Alice in Wonderland life. Well done, I would not recommend this to very young children – the title gives you a clue on that, but, for a look at the real behind the scenes life of the rich and famous and the good and bad that brings it is certainly a worthy read for older teens on up as she expresses her hopes, fears and intentions while growing up a teen in front of cameras on their reality t.v.show. She talks about her weaknesses and her passions with equal candor. A good read and microscopic view into the who of Kelly Osbourne and she is not who you think she is. Well done, Kelly. Yes, I would recoomend this book for older teens and adults. Good read.
