Chris Ayres Knihy

The incredible, frank and moving autobiography of the Prince of F***ing Darkness!

The narrative offers an unfiltered perspective on the Iraq War through the eyes of a journalist new to conflict. Blending humor with poignant honesty, it captures the absurdities and harsh realities of war, reminiscent of classics like "M*A*S*H" and "Catch-22." Ayres' unique voice reveals the emotional turmoil and dark comedy that emerge in extreme circumstances, making for a compelling and relatable exploration of the complexities of modern warfare.

After a brief and undignified stint as a war correspondent, Chris Ayres is exiled by his newspaper to Hollywood, where he lives in a building called The Leisureplex and sends celebrity tittle-tattle back home. Seduced by the apparently infinite wealth of LA, Ayres embarks on an ill-advised odyssey of self-gratification.

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 <i>The Sunday Times</i> 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 <i>Rolling Stone</i> to give it a global audience of millions. In <i>Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy</i>, 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, <i>Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy</i> will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.
