    About this audiobook

    Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In TRUST ME, I'M DR. OZZY, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, TRUST ME, I'M DR. OZZY will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.

      A very entertaining read.I'm not really sure how much of this I believe actually came from Ozzy, but I'll assume it was a good portion at least. While most advice came down to "visit your GP" he had some funny anecdotes and random advice that made me laugh. I just love the Osbourne family, especially Sharon, so just getting some stories from their life was fun. A good read if you like Ozzy, but don't go looking for a lot of real medical advice. There was some interesting medical trivia and quizzes though too.

      I look forward to reading Ozzy's "Ask Dr. Ozzy" columm in Rolling Stone every month, so when I saw this book I was so excited!! I was not disappointed! Ozzy writes with wit and humor, but also with a surprising amount of compassion and understanding for his often befuddled advice seekers. His recommendations for parenting and getting older are especially spot on, and he always sees the lighter side of scary things like medical issues. He peppers the collections of questions with hysterical asides about his own medical history, giving gruesome details about such events as having to get rabies shots after biting the head off a famous bat, walking away with minor injuries from a plane crash and other equally harrowing medical tales. Ozzy comes through with solid common sense and awesome dash of heavy metal humor. Highly recommended.

      Unbeknownst to me “The Prince of Darkness”, “The Godfather of Heavy Metal” and reality show star, Ozzy Osbourne writes an advice column in the Sunday Times and Rolling Stone Magazine. This audio book, thankfully read by British comedian Frank Skinner, is a continuation of this format. Questions of every nature are asked by various people and Ozzy offers advice, much of which he gained through his unusual life experiences and hard living. To say Mr. Osbourne is a survivor would be an understatement. He’s evidence that miracles do happen and, at 62, he easily and openly talks of being free of drugs and alcohol.Would I recommend………………….It was amusing in part, sometimes funny but most of all this is for mature audiences. So, you make the call.
