Exelent book, writen in a way that you feel that Alice is next to you talking about his life, mixing the chapters between his Rock life and his Golf life... and what a life! Thanks Alice for sharing all those moments, the good and the bad, all I can say is... What a life my friend, WHAT A LIFE!!!!!!!

As a die hard Alice Cooper fan and a keen less than amatuer golfer. I was a bit dissappointed about the content of the golfing stories that was over run by The Coop's autobiography. Although his life story was interesting and very easy to read, the lack of golfing issues ruined my taste to continue the book. Dedicated pages to his golf story was minimal and it was really his philosophy of golf that was portrayed and not how he became addicted to the sport. Towards the end of the book Alice's preaching of him becoming a christian was an ill omen to read, the several pages or so found it hard to continue the book to the end. However, his instructional pages at the end of the book was very basic, but was too be expected.
Overall the book shed some light on his career and how it began. Not too mention his demons with alcohol that he had overcome and I applaud him for that success. The book is very digestible and seems to be written for people of all ages. I felt that the title should have been someting like " A Rock n Roller's life with a hint of golf" would have been more appropiate.

I love Alice Cooper but hate golf, and this book has alot of golf jibberish. Skip the golf chapters and its a good read.

As much of an Alice Cooper fan as I am, I am somewhat ashamed that it took me so long to read this book. Based on the title, I originally thought it was more of a golf book. Golf tidbits are intermixed with anecdotes of a life in rock'n'roll. So even those like myself that know almost nothing of the sport will still love this book.
In the history of rock, few figures are as misunderstood as Alice Cooper. Often the victim of baseless rumors during the 70's, he still became one of music's most successful acts. "Golf Monster" chronicles the music, booze, golf in a way that is certain to make readers smile. I never really thought Alice had so many friends in the entertainmnet business! My only real complaint is that I would have liked a longer book with more discussion of the music and tours. Some of my favorite albums were hardly discussed.
I also really enjoyed reading about the "new" Alice Cooper. He is more than enough proof that Christians do not need to be boring. And even in his act, he does not compromise his faith in his on-stage "character". As Alice says, if you believe he errors in his faith, show him. Fans of Alice are certain to love this book, even if they don't like golf.
