Scar Tissue is nonfiction

Scar Tissue is a book about the singer named Anthony Kiedis, who is in the band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He tells his story of growing up and doing drugs as a young kid. He had a major drug abuse and addiction issue that caused many problems for him down the road. His band helped him solve his issues with drugs after much trial and error.

In the first part of the book, Anthony explains how he had his first drug experience with his father when he was 11 years old and how long it went on. The second part is about how his band became popular, and he was doing severe drugs with his bandmate Hillel Slovak. After Slovak's death, Anthony did not attend the funeral. He was without his best friend and did not know what to do with himself; it caused more issues down the road for Anthony because his drug addiction became more severe. Finally near the end, as of December 24th, 2000, Anthony Kiedis is clean and sober.

It is a good book to read if you are interested in "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" or if you just want an interesting read. Through much trial and error with Anthony's life, he is still one of the greatest singers of all time. It is good to understand that even with the mistakes in your life, you can still become successful and achieve your goals.
