In this memoir, Simmons tells about his youth (he used to be a Jewish kid named Chaim Witz, before the makeup), all his kisses (he claims to have slept with more than 4000 women), and his part in guiding the musical monster that is Kiss into becoming one of the most successful rock groups in the world.
