Title: Ozzy Knows Best: The Amazing Story of Ozzy Osbourne, from Heavy Metal Madness to Father of the Year on MTV's "The Osbournes" by Chris Nickson ISBN: 0-312-31141-9 Publisher: Griffin Trade Paperback Pub. Date: 03 August, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $11.95 |

Summary: Not worth the paper it is written on
Comment: Poor Ozzy (well, actually he's fabulously rich, but you know what I mean). The beast he and Sharon created with the TV show "The Osbournes" means everyone is out to cash on his new level of fame and popularity. This book is a worthless cash in on Ozzy, and it's not even very good.
Sure, there are parts of Ozzy's early years I've read about in here which I hadn't found elsewhere, but the author hasn't looked very far. This book is a rehashing of other biographies, quotes from magazine articles, and observations of "The Osbournes" TV show. It smacks of being thrown together as quickly as possible. The author repeats some points ad nauseum, and there are even factual errors in it (the book says Metallica opened for Ozzy in 1983, when in fact this did not happen until 1986).
If you're interested in Ozzy, buy something else.
Rating: 3
Summary: Same old, same old.
Comment: This book is like all the other unauthorized Ozzy books, with slight variation. If you are interested in reading about Ozzy, try "Ozzy in his own words", at least it is more accurate and truthful, not hearsay and taken from context in interviews. Dont get me wrong, this wasn't particularly a bad read, just a been there, done that type thing. It is VERY similiar to Sue Crawfords book, except this was a bit more "fun", meaning it has fact pages of each family member, it has quotes, it has quizzes, make for a little more interesting of a read if you are going to read the same stuff you have read before. This book happens to have more information on "The Osbornes" the MTV smash hit than Sue Crawfords book too.
Rating: 1
Summary: Buy a different Ozzy biography.
Comment: This book is a repetative waste of time full of sentences and paragraphs that begin, for no apparent reason, with the word "And" or "But". The Ozzy and family exploits are mentioned over and over throughout. Between exploits there is only Chris Nixons' gushing tribute to what a great father/husband/person Ozzy is now that he's concured drugs and alcohol. I enjoyed the Ozbournes on MTV. I didn't need a recap.
