Idol Truth
This book was so raw and real! Thank you, Leif Garrett for sharing your life with your fans. I pray that writing this book was helpful in your journey to stay sober. Thank you for your honesty, sir.
Poor little crackhead
They say an addict stops aging when their addiction begins. This book is written proof of that! The only celebrity stories of any interest are with the celebrities that are dead, and can’t contest to being in this book. Please don’t waste your money as all you will read is chapter after chapter of poor me! Let me blame my mother, let me blame my father, me blame the world that I had it so rough and screwed my life up because of everyone else’s mistakes and what they did to me. He goes on and on about being charitable. Well if he’s truthful on that he’ll give me my $9.99 back because this book was a complete and total waste of money!
