4.0 out of 5 stars better than usual
I think this is more for hardcore fans, it isn't a proper interview or anything, there are just lots of quotes from the two. This actually makes it better than some of those other biographies which can be somewhat biased. It gives good, although sometimes cryptic, insight into their lives. Courtney is there in all her hideous beauty, Love fans will enjoy her here...

2.0 out of 5 stars coffee-table book
Disappointing. It's the kind of book that was published about some guy who was smashed in a train wreck the day after it happened accompanied by a whole lot of pictures of the guy while he was alive and some liner notes and that's about it. No insight to be derived from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, January 6, 2001
By 
SophieThurgood (Hertford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
This book is all quotes from interviews, but still quite long ones. I really enjoyed reading this book. Every time I picked it up I could never put it down. It has all about drugs, Frances bean, Nirvana ,Hole and more. On the chapter on Kurt's death the quotes were well thought out and showed how Courtney felt guilty about his death and that she really did love him. It also has his suicide note in it too. Overall I thought this was a exellent book alouth most of the quote were by Kurt. It's well worth reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kurt and Courtney review, June 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
I thought this was a pretty good book, it is made up entirely of quotes and some great photos. It is a good collector's item if you are a Nirvana/Hole fan, but I have read some much better books on Nirvana for example "Come As You Are". That's a much better book if you had to choose between the two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Any Kurt/Courtney, Nirvana/Hole fan!, December 15, 1999
By 
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
This is certainly a good book. There are great quotes from Kurt, Courtney, and a few others which is the best part since you often don't get their perspective. Also there are tons of pictures of Nirvana, Hole, and other bands (the Beatles, R.E.M., The Clash, etc.)

5.0 out of 5 stars great read, December 8, 2003
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
I thought this was a great book. The book features quotes from both Kurt Cobain and Courtney love, on many different topics. The book also features some great photos of Kurt and Courtney. If you're a Courtney Love or Kurt Cobain fan, I highly recommend this book. You get the truth straight from Kurt and Courtney's mouths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent..!, November 24, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
I've looked for a biography that speaks of headings and hAs Kurt and Courtney's opinions arranged by topic. Courtney's so intelligent. I read the back of her mother's biography, and to see the cover on the back, you'd think Courtney was a cross eyed retard who just has to be locked up forever. "Desperately attention seeking" and "confabulation" are words on the back. That, and the fact that her mother is a therapist and uses the word "healing" a lot makes me not want to open the book. But I've got a mind to see how it is..

4.0 out of 5 stars fascinating, useless, riveting..., February 4, 2002

This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
They said it, do we believe it? Who cares! This book is for the die-hard Kurtney fan who wants to read every crazy morsel that ever dripped from their lips. The photos are great, there is an especially appalling photo of Courtney that is not to be missed...I personally can't get enough of either one of these punk rock cartoon characters and this book is a keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars well for the most part, February 3, 2002
This review is from: Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: In Their Own Words (Paperback)
i completely adore this book, but all the pics are black and white and the above shown "cover" is not really that (I guess it was reprinted?) cover (The one you will get, the reprinted one's cover is not nearly as stimulating) , it really wouldnt be that big a deal, exept that i was expecting something different. the quotes are nicely chosen in a wonderful format and they are the epitome of quotes, because its them. the quotes are equally distributed, even though there are maybe a few more of kurts, its not too obvious. get this book if you love or agree with their opinions.
