Wow!A lot of the details from this book also come out in Please Kill Me as well - the beatings, the ODs, the rock and punk alliances and famous NYC anecdotes - but it is nice to hear them in Cheetah's words, including subtleties like how he didn't get along with Patti Smith or her entourage, how he actually felt remorse about throwing his guinea pig out the window while high, and other points.
