4.0 out of 5 stars better than usual, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

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. The photographs are definitely better than average, some really nice ones. Good layout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, January 6, 2001

By	SophieThurgood (Hertford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

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

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.
