An American Demon

A Memoir

Depravity, redemption, terror, and spiritual deliverance abound in this physically and psychologically complex memoir from the front man of the pioneer punk band True Sounds of Liberty (TSOL). Spanning the extremes between hard-core punk memoir and handbook for recovery and survival, this narrative documents a youth rebellion that changed the world and offered life lessons rooted in 1980s punk culture. At times unsettling and violent, this book is doused in aggression, rebellion, alcoholism, and drug abuse, culminating in tough lessons of sobriety and absolution. This captivating, dark, and ultimately redemptive life story will fascinate fans of punk and resonate with those who have suffered from addiction issues.

Interesting read

Thoughtful. Tongue in cheek.
Very different than author's recovery based writing. Initially found audio narration difficult, but soldiered through by reading instead. Highly Recommended.

So good it made me gag

This book had me so uncomfortable at times I had to stop listening … awesome just awesome
A true piece of Americana

Excellent !!

Jack Grisham is an American treasure. This is a must listen ! Never dull and incredibly entertaining!

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

Truly wild, excellent story of Jack’s early years

Jack did a great job giving an honest portrayal of his life. At times I was howling with laughter, at times I cringed and at times I could relate 100%. I’m thankful for Jack’s honesty and storytelling. This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. He did a great job with the narration. Glad he’s doing well these days, truly.✊🏻
