I have both books. I think just like any book about anyone, you have to take the occurrences described with a grain of salt. Mick probably thought more 'drama' would sell better. I am sure there are parts of his book that are definitely true. I'm just as sure that some parts are more drama than truth.
Concerning Carol Ann's book, I felt that she tried too hard to make herself look never at fault for anything that happened to her/around her. In the process of doing that, she made herself seem like a clueless and helpless person. Of course, I don't know how much of what she said is true or untrue. Still, if someone is going to do tons of drugs around someone else doing tons of drugs, things are going to happen that may not have if both people were sober.
