Review: Star Crossed Lovers - I knew nothing about Mary and Scott Weiland before reading this book. I did not expect this book to be such a page turner. Not only is the writing fact paced and entertaining, it has incredible depth. Weiland chose a very gifted ghost writer to tell her tale, a writer who manages to get out of the way of the swing, so to speak. The writer avoids cliches, platitudes and stereotypes and manages to educate the reader about addiction and depression. I think this book has a lot of integrity and while it is described as a tell-all, it only seems to tell what is important to Mary Weiland. Even if the people involved in this story were not famous, I would find this book riveting and compelling as it explores the connection between depression and the propensity to self medicate, which leads to addiction. One find one's self thinking about one's own life and the people we know and love who suffer from addictions. After completing this book, one will have a new found empathy for those who suffer from addictions while discarding a judgmental attitude. Scott and Mary are star crossed because the very thing that draws them together is also the very thing that could eventually destroy them. Near the end, I found myself weeping for their love which was not to be. This book is extremely well written and not at all what you might expect. I highly recommend it.
Review: An honest account of drugs, depression and love - I generally pay little attention to the romances of the rich and famous, but a book co-written by the ex-wife of Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland -- who I've always been a big fan of -- was too much for me to resist. Surprisingly, I was riveted by Mary Forsberg Weiland's own life tale and not just what she said about Scott. She's led a riotous and unpredictable existence as a model, to say the least, and her autobiography conveys that to wildly entertaining effect. Readers will get hooked into her story right away during the prologue, where a depressed, anxiety-laden Forsberg tries heroin for the first time -- with her boyfriend, Scott Weiland. The recount dredges up a bunch of observations: It's fascinating to get an intense, firsthand look at what these celebrities are doing in such a sleazy environment, but it's also very sad. As the book proceeds, you eventually see that this encounter is just the tip of the iceberg where drug use is concerned. In fact, if ever a piece of literature could be used to discourage kids from experimenting with drugs, this might be it. There are lighthearted aspects to the book, however. Mary's stories and the way co-author Larkin Warren helps relate them are at times graceful, charming and funny. This is a hard-knock girl who had a rough childhood, a less-than-middle-class upbringing and a penchant for experimentation. In addition to her addictive personality, Forsberg was a prominent model who traveled the world and is still a huge music fan. Fans of Scott Weiland, Stone Temple Pilots and even Velvet Revolver won't be disappointed; there's a lot of fodder about each. Especially interesting is the evolution of Scott Weiland, who Mary met (and fell in love with on the spot) as a 16-year-old model. Through her smitten eyes readers witness a sweet, soft-spoken 23-year-old guy who aspired to sing in a big rock band, worked days as a chauffeur, liked to wear vintage 7-UP jackets and was a genuine friend to Forsberg during her formative years. The first time Mary watches Scott performing onstage, she realizes there's a whole other musical element to him, an enrapturing one at that. What Scott Weiland evolved into was not always so innocent or admirable, but that's the beauty of Forsberg's honesty: No stone is left unturned (pardon the bad pun). In a weird way, Forsberg's book has elements of a ragged love story, albeit one that doesn't exactly end in the storybook tradition. Her meltdown memories at the end of the book put her fragility and bipolar disorder on full display, but the coupon-clipping, down-to-earth Mary makes you root for her. As the dust settles and her tumultuous years get put in the rearview mirror, Forsberg ultimately comes across as hardworking, devoted to her children, ambitious and seemingly level headed, despite a life lived in the spotlight. Hopefully she'll persevere after such a hectic lifestyle, and it would be wonderful to see her become a counselor and help others, like she aspires to.
