Free Seven Deadly Sins Ebooks To Download
"I was 22 years old, a hard-on with a pulse: wretched vice-ridden, too much to burn and not enough minutes in a hour to do so. 1995 was a full 365-day year of drinking, fucking, lying, raging and exploration for me - not a dull one in the bunch. It was a time of self-shit: self-importance, self-absorption, self-indulgence and selfishness. I was the only person in the known galaxy and I wanted what the fuck I wanted sooner rather than later." The action begins in West Des Moines, Iowa, where Corey Taylor, frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour, systematically set about committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has picked fights with douche bags openly brandishing guns. He has set himself on fire at parties and woken up in dumpsters after cocaine binges. He lost his virginity at eleven. He got rich and famous and immersed himself in booze, women, and chaos until one day he realised, suddenly, that he didn't need any of that at all. Candid. Literate. Brilliant. Seven Deadly Sins is a brutally honest look at 'a life that could have gone horribly wrong at any turn', and the soul-searching and self-discovery it took to set it right.

I've always liked Corey's humor and his world view is a lot like mine (I have to say it's like mine as I am older - LOL!). This book is poignant, if you ask me, and made me laugh out loud several, hell LOTS, of times! I'm glad that my thoughts and views are finally in print! :o) Great job and highly recommend it!
After reading the insanely funny "You're making me hate You!" I immediately got this book. I'm always in the market for good humor books, but this book, while it did contain some bits of humor, was a more serious philosophy of Corey's regarding the seven deadly sins. I ignored warnings by other reviewers that this book is not for the very religious because I was in it for the humor. But Corey's views are going to upset you if you are one of the very religious, especially if you are also a Republican.An unexpected treasure was finding out more about Taylor. He reveals some interesting, but heart wrenching facts about his childhood, his upbringing and some of the things he had to go through to get where he is today.The book is very well written. Taylor is a smart man with an attitude and energy many of us can learn from.
I absolutely love this book. Read the whole thing in just a few days. I could not possibly have had a different childhood & life experiences than Corey Taylor & yet I agree w/ almost everything he wrote in this book. Don't let the rockstar persona fool you. He is one intelligent, critical thinker & a damn good writer to boot.
I originally started reading this book as a way to get an insight into Corey Taylor, someone so many friends of mine severely admire. What I found though were words and an insight into an incredible way of thinking... I can honestly say it has opened my eyes and my mind, and I will be definitely taking a new thought pattern away with me!
Corey Taylor does a great job breaking down the Seven Deadly Sins and explaining how he feels about the seriousness of them or lack thereof. He recounts various stories of him growing up and living his life to the fullest while handily committing every sin on the list. I really enjoyed his writing style and could agree with a lot of the points that he made throughout the book. He ends the book with a list of Seven Deadly Sins that he believes should be the updated list for the day and age we live in. I think his list hits the nail on the head and they truly live up to the word "Deadly" ... This book is a great read that I highly recommend!
Love, Love, Love this book!! I had bought it when first released and gave it to friends to read and somewhere along the way (I know who) claims they gave it back so here we are a few years later and I wanted to re-read it and bought it again. Corey Taylor is my kind of person. It is amazing to me of how he and I think alike but he has such a way of articulating with his expansive vocabulary to his off-the-wall a.d.d. side notes that just make you burst out in laughter. Seriously, I am not religious nor anti-religious, I am 41 year old woman who loves some Slipknot songs and not so much others although I do like Slipknot more than Stone Sour. I have read his other 2 books "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven" and "You're Making Me Hate You" which are both just as awesome. This isn't a book to persuade you one way or the other of yes or no to the seven deadly sins, but if you question them and the likes of the world, and especially if you like vulgar, crude humor this is a book to read!
I gave this book a 5 star rating. The reason is Corey spoke the absolute truth about the topic of the Seven Deadly Sins. I have never heard a good take on these, let alone one with truth and research from life-experiences. It was perfectly written with promptness and intelligence. I loved the interjections of humor in between things to break off and kind of let you know that " Hey guys, I've been through this s***, I know what I am talking about here." I can't say enough good things about this piece and I am looking forward to the end of summer when his new book arrives. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have an eye opening experience.
After the %40s if the book i couldn't keep on reading. Skimmed the reat. I felt like book feels like the blabbers and braggings of a teenager who recently bought a thesaurus. Its really dull and repeats itself.
