Product Description
Product Description
Tommy Lee is known for any number of things: as the drummer for Motley Crue; as the husband and very public lover of Pamela Anderson; as a convicted felon; as the man who saw a child drown in his pool during a birthday party; and as a celebrity who continues to put his life back together after so many public trials and tribulations. It's been a life like no other - and now he's baring it all in a memoir like no other. Lee takes readers back to his childhood, when his penchant for misbehaviour got off to an early start, and brings them through the dizzying highs and abysmal lows of a life shaped by decadence and super-stardom. He shares what really happened during the Motley Crue days, reveals what it's like to film your own honeymoon and freely discusses his days in jail and how they changed his life. Often hilarious, always shameless, this is every bit the shocking memoir you'd expect from a man whose least interesting experience was being married to Heather Locklear. In an age of celebrity exposure, TOMMYLAND is the ultimate dish on the most notorious musical miscreant ever to dominate the headlines.

This book is an OK read but if your going to buy a book about Tommy Lee I would go for "The Dirt" by Neil Strauss.
Tommyland goes over alot of the same ground as The Dirt does but is not as well written.
There are parts of this book which just seemed so pointless. I wanted to really like this book but unless your a massive Tommy fan buy The Dirt instead which is excellent.

A great read. There is a lot more to Tommy Lee than the trash media would have us believe.
The book takes us through his childhood, his love for his parents, his growth as a musician to the formation of Motley Crue. Then it gets really good. If you've read "The Dirt" you'll know some of the stories. The section on Tommy's sex tips is very entertaining.
He then goes on to talk about his relationships, notably, of course with Heather and Pamela. By the end of these chapters you'll hate the paparazzi as much as him.
The sections where he describes his time in jail, the death of the young child in his pool and the death of his father are all very moving.
All in all a very entertaining and thoughtful autobiography from one of the baddest boys in rock history.

I have just finished reading tommyland and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Tommy shows he is so much more than the tabloids give him credit for, he made me laugh out loud but parts also moved me to tears. I am very disappointed that there's no more of the book left but you leave it feeling privileged to have gained an insight into such a fascinating life.

A definite suprise!
Tommy Lee definitely surprised me with this book. It's a lot more open and honest than the watered-down diaries that most "celebrities" put out these days. Read more
