    4 Stars This man defies medical science and, amazingly, is still alive Diamond review Review with images 03/05/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extremely funny, if rather gross, and occasionally quite moving

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Well - the man's a bit of a nutter, and probably wouldn't be a dependable mate

    Ozzy Osbourne The artist formerly known as John Osbourne was born in 1948. In spite of everything he has subjected his system to, he is still here. In one of the last chapters, he describes going to the doctor for a check-up in an effort to ‘get clean’. In the course of a few minutes’ questioning by the medic, he admits to the odd little bit of self-indulgence – you know, occasional substance abuse (every substance you can think of), alcohol (how many units per day? Oh, about four bottles of Hennessy, depending on how long he passes out between them), as well as getting hit by an aeroplane ... more

    5 Stars The Life of a Crazy Man! 25/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting, easy to read, good photos, fuuny and emotional at times

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Chapter one not entirely suitable for Vegetarians!

    Being a nosey person who also enjoys reading I love nothing better than reading about the people I like, Ozzy Osbourne is the latest auto biography to be added to my collection. He first came to my attention when the family hit the TV screens with their reality show. I had heard of him before but never really paid an interest in him as to me he was an old singer who sang songs which were not to my liking. I instantly thought he was a crazy man and to be honest he did thoroughly entertain me when watching. As a result I have started to follow both Ozzy and Sharon through their new found careers ... more

    4 Stars A open honest, funny and touching life story. 03/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun to read, easy grammar/linguistic, emotional, funny, nice photos.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sensitive information that is not appropriate for animal lovers.

    Being a longtime fan of metal and hard rock, Ozzy's autobiography named I am Ozzy caught my attention. I agree that lots of people would agree with the fact that it's a miracle that he is still alive, the book itself is easy to read without too much complicated english. As he stated in the book "he is not the fucking encyclopedia of Britannica". In the beginning we are introduced to how his alcoholic father predicted John's (oz) future. John was going to either become something big, or go to prison. Before passing the age of 18 his first jail sentence took place. We learned that he is dyslexic ... more

    4 Stars An unexpected delight of wit, humour and sadness combined 06/03/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages An easy to read book which is light hearted, warm and funny at the same time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The style of writing is as Ozzy speaks - therefor beware of colourful language!

    I was given this book actually for my Kindle as a present and to be honest I have never liked Ozzy or indeed any of the Osbourne clan and have actively avoided listening to music, watching tv programmes and reading any media reviews about any of them as a consequence. However, I though 'give it a go' and so off I went ploughing into it with some trepidation. Its an autobiography of Ozzys' life from childhood through to adulthood, covering his family upbringing (which was far from easy), his youth (which was troublesome and colourful), his addictions (alcohol & drugs) and life as a musican (in ... more
