What a ride these guys had! How they are all still alive, I’ll never know. It’s a miracle that Ace and Peter survived their drug use and that no one ever strangled Gene. Haha! Great book. No holds barred. I will say that Ace has quite an ego on him. But that’s no surprise; he was and always will be the lead guitarist for KISS!

A very honest reflection on the ups and downs of Ace’s life. Well worth reading if you are a KISS fan or a fan of rock and roll.

Love Ace as a musician and the book is OK. Overall it is a collection of stories about booze, drugs and more brushes with death than most people would live to tell about. Each original KISS member biography offers it's own perspective and "No Regrets" is no different. They were four guys who for a while had the commitment and vision to create one of the all time great rock bands. But it wasn't built to last. Thanks to Ace for his side of the story.

Great to get Ace's side of the story. Good read if your a fan!

I have been a KISS fan for a very long, long time. I have read ask the members boss and found this one to be one of the best. Ace is painfully honest in his telling of his drug abuse and alcoholism. He sets the record straight even when doing so makes him look not do good and a little more fallible.

My girlfriend can't believe that I read this book. I studied literature, she said. How can I enjoy something so ... "Low brow." The fact is, I loved this book. Every word. See, I teach literature, that is true. But Ace is also the reason I became a musician. I needed to understand his story so that I could better understand my own. Filled with personal anecdotes and stories that have not only become legend, but have also defined the phrase "Rock Star," "No Regrets" takes the reader on a journey through Ace Frehley's life from high school through 2010. It is as candid as a kid from the Bronx can be about his years in KISS, his struggles with addiction and relationships and the lifelong friends he made on his journey. Much of the time, Ace wanders from topic to topic, then eventually finds his way back to the main point and, instead of being distracting, it is quite charming; I felt as though the man himself was telling me these stories over the kitchen table. Humble and almost naïve in his delivery, Ace tells his story as the title suggests. I recommend this book to anyone who grew up with KISS in the 1970's. I recommend this book to anyone trying to understand art and addiction and their relationship to each other. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Rock memoirs. Most importantly, I recommend this book to everyone who is a die-hard KISS fan, who is a Gene Simmons fan and/or who only knows their side of how things happened. Get this book!

As most people from the 70's, I have been a KISS fan my whole life. KISS has endured all these years, in part, due to Gene's business sense, and Paul's love of the band. However, KISS has NEVER given Ace (and Peter, too) the credit he deserves for escalating the band into superstardom! The magic of KISS is the 4 ORIGINAL members, and always will be. There have been some good KISS songs since Ace left, but NOTHING like the early music! I never get sick of those songs, and they rock now just like they did in the 1970's! I will always be a KISS fan, but more than that, I will always be an ACE fan! There isn't a comparable band now, in the past, or the future, that can accomplish what KISS has done! People from every walk of life are members of the KISS army-me (a Critical Care Registered Nurse) included! I WILL LOVE ACE FOR LIFE!!!!!

As a long time KISS fan, I expected Ace to pull back the curtain and provide me an account of the inner workings concerning the creation of the band and a personal account of the personal relationships - their certainly were some very enjoyable anecdotes of the KISS backstory, but NO REGRETS spends much of its time focusing on accounts of Ace's excessive lifestyle. In latter portions of the book, Frehley glosses over what may have been the most intriguing aspect of his story, his multiple departures from the band... There are large gaps in the time between his first departure, solo career, and eventual sobriety. Despite expressing a desire to be recognized as a writer, Ace spends precious little time walking through the creative process. KISS fans will enjoy portions of the novel. I have heard that Frehley is working on a follow up, I will not be along for the ride.

You killed it! I love all the book I couldn't stop reading. What a life it must of been being part of the biggest band in the world..

I read this book in less than a day and I can say I enjoyed it. Looking back however, its amazing how few details or information there actually was. No great insight into songs or albums. Almost no information on Paul and Peter and just a few insults at Gene. I think most people dislike Gene- but Ace's advise that Gene have a few drinks or do some drugs shows that these rock stars are really lacking in the reality department. Without Gene Kiss would be nothing more than a blip on the rock n roll radar. Also surprising was the lack of confidence of a full fledged rock star- written like a question mark that he actually had worth in the group. Also frustrating is the amount of bad decisions someone can make and endangering so many other people and get out of these without any reprucussion. Ace never grew up- I don't envy him
