The book was good in researching the rumours that Jim Morrison is still alive, and tells some which was unknown. I have been reading it all day, and the only problem I have is it's only 80 pages, which is a little too short. Worth a read.

Those interested in the subject of Morrison's death owe a great deal of gratitude to Seymore, whose dogged perseverence resulted in the release of several major documents held by Paris police, including the report of Alain Ronay, the full police report of Pam Courson, et cetera. Nevertheless, Seymore fails to follow up on some fascinating issues, and largely believes the Courson /Ronay story without questioning the underlying validity of those testimonies or looking very deeply into the situation. Much of the book could be subtitled, "Bob's Irritations With Parisian Bureaucracy," and it often seems as if Seymore is desperately trying to pad what is already a short book. He fails to read his own material very closely for places where witness testimony is provocatively contradictory, primarily (I believe) because his main thrust in doing research into Morrison's death was to discover that he was still alive. Sorry, Mr. Seymore...

Don't expect too much, it's rather dissapointing.

Is he still alive and living in L'America? Well, we still don't know.

Respect to Bob for making the effort though.

After reading this book I felt assured knowing that Morrison has been dead all this time, but disappointed in the lack of research. This author interviewed no one of importance, scarcely addressed any theories of murder or OD and was content telling the reader what happened on each day of search minute after boring minute. Great topic to write about, but The End fell short in many areas.
