This book tells you in great depth about the doors and the Jim Morrison story and how they decided what to call each song and what to include in them, it is avery interesting book with facts you probably wouldn't of heard of in other doors related books, so its a must for all door's fans.

Despite the title, MOONLIGHT DRIVE is not as inclusive as it could have been. B-sides are barely mentioned. Studio-only/demos ignored. Other books of this type usually go through pains to include almost every scrap of music put to tape that a band has recorded. MOONLIGHT DRIVE fails in this capacity. To Crisafulli's credit, however, he does include ABSOLUTELY LIVE as well as OTHER VOICES and FULL CIRCLE. AMERICAN PRAYER, Jim Morrison's spoken word album (with music by The Doors) is also included.

The book is full of interesting facts and is well-written and recommended, but I would have preferred a more inclusive and in-depth look at the stories behind every single Doors song.
