This oversized book is nothing special in the biography department, you'll just get the basics on the band and its leader, told in a much less interesting way than Manson himself tells it (if you want a juicy story, read The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell).
What is good about this book are the photos. There are many of them, and they are high calibre! The vast majority are from the Portrait... and Antichrist Superstar eras and are live shots. They really do look beautiful in full colour and crisp resolution (if "beautiful" is the right word for it...). If you want photos of Manson making weird faces, this is the book for you! There are a couple of cute/gross ones of Twiggy too, and obligatory shots of the rest of the band.
Verdict: fun to look at, not to read.
