I read about two books per month. The best book I've read over the last year or two is...believe it or not, I am Ozzy.

How can this be? Ozzy Osbourne is almost illiterate. He admittedly has a learning disability and has only read a few books himself in his entire life. Not to mention the decades of drug addiction.

I give high praise to an unknown writer by the name of Chris Ayres. He's the ghost writer for this book.

I don't know how this guy did it, but this book is incredibly well-written.

I imagine he must have written it after listening to Ozzy Osbourne dictate the details to him.

If you've ever listened to Ozzy speak, you can understand how this, alone, must have been so difficult.

Yet, this book is entertaining and snappy and a pleasure to read.

And while I read it, I couldn't get ancient Black Sabbath tunes out of my head.

I recommend this book, not only for entertainment value, but as a primer in how to ghostwrite a book.
