About this listen

"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.

Intellligent and hilariously writen.

Even if you are not a fan of Corey taylor; this book is sure to get you thinking, gigling and feeling better about your existence.

Corey gives a decent re-telling of his childhood and past exploits but has written this book as more of an examination into human reactions and emotions than a simple autobiography.

Very entertaining and thought provoking!

A Rollercoaster

What did you love best about Seven Deadly Sins?

This made me giddy, excited and want to throw up. From his hilarious tales of his past antics, passionate tirades and recounting of his painful childhood, Corey's reading of his book takes the audience on the ride with him. It made me guffaw out loud on public transport and made my heart hurt. For such an angry, loud personality, you can hear the hurt 11 year old in his voice as he recounts his childhood. He is the consummate performer and it all comes out in this audiobook.

Any additional comments?

Yes, Corey can rant. Sometimes I wondered where he was going. But hey, that's what he's made his career out of, and it was entertaining none-the-lessI would honestly get this book for his gorgeous voice alone. He could make a third career just out of reading audiobooks (he rivals David Tennant as my favorite narrator).Oh, and for those not familiar with Corey's other work, it would be amiss of me not to mention the very strong language. It makes the book what it is though, and he has such an amazing way with words. I was really impressed. Really, really impressed with this book.

Brilliantly Unique

I am so happy that Corey narrated his own book. You can hear just what he was thinking or feeling in the moments he wrote it. It feels very organic and as if you're listening to him wrote the book while you listen along. I loved hearing his perspective on the world, a little more about him as a person, and gaining a bit of access into his past and childhood. He truly is an interesting human being. If you're looking for something completely different and imaginative, this is the book for you. Definitely caters to open-minded individuals. Loved every second of it! Very excited to listen to his other books now.

Interesting but nothing more, nothing less

Corey has a very flowery way of writing and at times it feels like he's finding the next best adjective or metaphor. Nonetheless it's an interest telling of how a man forced by circumstance to act out a larger than life character, got to where he his, and the philosophies he's developed along the way as both a moral compass and a justification of his past.

Read by the author, so definitely worth a listen.
