Relatable if you had religion force fed to you.

Well written and narrated.
Best part for me was Jack's transition from demon to human.

Where's the Ending?

I'm a huge fan of Jack Grisham in all his forms, whether it be TSOL or as a proponent for 12-step recovery.
I had this book a while back but never got around to reading it, but figured with this stay at home order I would
purchase the audio book and listen to it around the house. It's great, and Mr. Grisham does an amazing job
reading life into his words, drawing you in with his charm and charisma. But as the audio time is starts winding down and
you keep thinking, "How's this gonna finish?" In the end it doesn't, there's not even a "to be continued" moment or ending.
It just ends. It's a bummer because this is so well done, you want to see the proper transformation of the "demon" to the
outstanding "human" he is now.

Disappointing "ending"

Good writing . . . until the "end" . . . The "ending" seemed more like the author just stopped writing, ran out of paper, ink or the battery on his laptop died and he just called it quits, idk, not really an ending, very disappointing . . . Oh well.

The story is fiction

Always a storyteller. I knew him back then, and he's still a lying narcissist to this day. Just 3x the size. Never worked a day in his life, let his groupies do that for him. Got this for free w a credit. I'd never buy it. He's never been honest, and this is typical exaggerated BS. Truth told, he turned to AA not for help with any addiction, but for an audience (all narcissists need one) as those of us who knew him well never saw him party much. ( But I will say, he was soo handsome!) Yet, when AA took off in the 90s, so did his imagination, lies, and stories. I was bored with this by chapter 3. Love's to hear himself talk - and lie. Always has. He does both well.

Dark. Insightful. Fantastic!

As a fan of TSOL back in the 80’s of had to pic this up. It’s a fantastic & tragic journey through the early days of punk rock. Filled with everything you could imagine coming from a scene out of the streets drugs, sex & violence are all part of the picture painted. Highly recommend a listen.

Different to his other books

I was fascinated as to what John was thinking when he wrote this book. I think some people would be offended but I was fascinated with this story and his thoughts

Great book!

Really well written and a great story. I remember tsol well and I’m really digging the prose and the story telling. I’m a sober guy and that’s where the story picks up next I imagine.

Incredible...stunning...

This tale is one of two things: 1) a harrowing account of utter, relentless psychopathy or 2) per the title, a memoir of a demon walking among us in human form. An argument can be made for the second possibility, as Grisham not only seeks out degradation, brutality and debauchery but actually exults in it...pain, misery, every stripe of suffering is welcomed and plumbed for mockery, sport and endless thrills. This aspect makes the case for his being what he states he is. It's not posited as metaphor. He draws a distinction, even from early years, between himself and the human world, going into great detail throughout the reading of the cosmology of the demon and its differences in comparison to humans. Listeners will blanch at the catalog of madness, even though Grisham would probably laugh and ask them hey...what did they expect?
