Review: 'From Acid to the Body of Christ' by Daxx Danzig

Originally published in 2009 'From Acid to the Body of Christ' is an autobiography written by Daxx Danzig. Set largely in Biloxi, Mississippi, the narrative charts Danzig’s life from high-school athlete, through neurotic young adult, to his eventual salvation in middle-age. The story is full of fascinating episodic tales, which at times seem fantastical, however one is reassured by an inscription on the copyright page: "Majority of this story is true with some embellishments." This, to my mind, is the correct way to put a life into words and Danzig’s is nothing, if not entertaining.
