Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Written by a high-school acquaintance of Kurt Cobain, this biography in the new American Rebels series is an unusually intimate account of the rock legend. A resident of Cobain's hometown, Burlingame supports his well-researched portrait with personal interviews with Cobain's family, friends, and other local acquaintances. His descriptions of Cobain's darker struggles, such as drug use, are frank, and he occasionally interrupts the text with a few didactic cautions about drug use. He also delves into controversial theories about Cobain's death, including a key investigator's belief that Cobain was murdered. Thorough endnotes, a well-rounded bibliography, and a discography conclude this detailed title, which stands out from many series biographies because of its insider's appreciation for the musician and his legacy.

Review

. . . an unusually intimate account of the rock legend . . . well-researched . . . stands out from many series biographies because of its insider s appreciation for the musician and his legacy. --Booklist, January 1 & 15, 2007

... well-researched portrait . . . High and middle school students will enjoy this title. This book will be very useful for music reports and/or casual reading. --Tri State Young Adult Book Review Committee, January 2007

Although the authors spend considerable time on the subjects' early lives and career highlights, a concluding chapter in each book helps explain their lasting appeal and fame. The pull-quotes are well chosen . . . --The Horn Book Guide, Fall 2007 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A journalist wrote this, November 24, 2006
By Steven (Aberdeen, Wash) - See all my reviews
A real honest-to-goodness journalist wrote this book. More to the point, this is a reporter who worked for the newspaper in Kurt's hometown of Aberdeen AND grew up there. That means Jeff can capture the image of Aberdeen and what it was like for Kurt growing up in the timber town like the expert he actually is. This isn't just a book. This may be part of a grand memoir defining the everyman of Aberdeen while at the same time talking about Kurt's life as a whole. And because Jeff is a journalist, the freshness of his interviews are solid and his objectivity is clear. Unlike some other biographies out there, there are no made up theories here. Recommended for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars I salute you!!!, June 4, 2007
By Mark R. "Mark" (Washington) - See all my reviews
A great book. I graduated with Jeff. He's talented and this book demonstrates his writing abilities. A definite must for any Nirvana fan. One day my daughter will enjoy it (she's only 22 mos). I wish him success with his future books.
