Book Description[edit]
"Locals Rule. I think. Odd, living in L.A all my life and taking for granted my environment, my city. But one night, just a few months ago, I bumped into Marilyn Manson at one of my locals and together we crawled the city a bit; where he lived, where I lived, where we ate and drank and where we have been entertained. We traveled the roads to those places on streets that had become too familiar. And then I reflected back on that brief journey and traced that trip (with photographs). I connected buildings and streets, freeways, storefronts and trees with a BORN VILLAIN at my side. Here it is but with a little mood music to set my mood. - Shia and K and MM"[3]
Reception[edit]
While fan's reaction to the book has been mostly negative, the book got good reviews, and the video, Born Villain, has a good rating on IMDB[6].
Promotion[edit]
Born Villain Campaign was launched on the streets of LA by way of illegally pasted handbills and via the website the CampaignBook.com by Karolyn Pho and Shia La Beouf.[7] The website dedicated to the promotional campaign was discovered via a poster on August 27th, 2011.
