Fans and non-fans alike will be shocked by the stories of murder, suicide, addiction, counterfeiting, riots, bondage, terminal illness, the Yakuza, and drinking pee.

Review
"Fat Mike is a rarity in music, an unadulterated authentic. In a profession filled with phonies and withholders, Mike shines as someone who always lets his freak flag fly. I like that a lot." Jane Wiedlin, The Go-Go’s
Review
"Fucking gnarly. And great!" Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day
Review
"Not for the faint of heart, and therefore HIGHLY recommended to EVERYBODY." Amanda Palmer
Review
"NOFX and Fat Mike are amongst the most powerful influences of my genre. This book is a 'must own' for anyone who still cherishes what is left of Punk and Rock ‘n’ Roll." Joan Jett
Review
"I can say with certainty I’ve never read a rock biography with such balanced elements of sensation and sincerity. Like the few great band bios, the array of experiences described in The Hepatitis Bathtub are enough to set anyone into contemplation about strength and perseverance, love and depravity, camaraderie, and a place for misfit rock and rollers in a society that to this day clings to rigid standards. A must-read for punks new and old and an eye-opening read for all new-comers." John Cameron Mitchell, Hedwig and the Angry Inch
