For most of us, it was just another horrible headline. But for Deborah Spungen, the mother of Nancy, who was stabbed to death at the Chelsea Hotel, it was both a relief and a tragedy. Here is the incredible story of an infant who never stopped screaming, a toddler who attacked people, a teenager addicted to drugs, violence, and easy sex, a daughter completely out of control--who almost destroyed her parents' marriage and the happiness of the rest of her family. "Honest and moving...Her painful tale is engrossing." WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD From the Paperback edition.

Really sad:
Very sad book, but inspirational to those who have had experience in dealing with mental illness in their family. One of the main reasons that Debbie wrote this book to is help others who have dealt with a murder in their family. Nancy was such an interesting person. It was nice to see a book written about her that makes her out to be so much more than Sid Vicious's girlfriend.
Good read:
I liked this book. I read it because I liked the movie Sid and Nancy. This book is about a mother's struggle with an out of control child. It's a good read.
HEART-WRENCHING:
THIS BOOK WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL, BUT I'M STILL LEFT WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MOTHER. TO LIVE LIFE LIKE NANCY DID, HAD TO BE TERRIBLE. ALSO, TO LIVE LIFE AS HER MOTHER AND FATHER COULD NOT HAVE BEEN EASY. IT'S ALMOST UNIMAGINEABLE, BUT THE STORY SEEMED VERY REALISTIC. IF ONE HASN'T BEEN THROUGH IT, IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
Not As Good As Jonny Lydon's Book:
I loved the book by johnny Lydon [Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs]
I bought this book after reading Johnny Lydon's book but this one was a let down.
Sid Vicious was a hot looking punk star and lots of girls (me to) still love him.
I read a little of this book but it's mostly lady who gets pregnant and she complains and my kid drives me nuts and i wish i had a abortion, blah blah my kid's going to the funny farm,lol,if it wasn't so full of "I this" and "I that"and 'I wanted to go to... more info
