Reviews

[Chris Marotta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Taking acid and having sex with Jim Morrison. Way more than I did at 17 years old.

[Tracy Briggs · Rating 2 out of 5]

What a sad tale of bad drugs trips, a delusional one sided love affair with a star who was wanted for money and security and because of the celebrity he was, she didn't like anything about his personality. Beyond belief that this was the book that was used by Oliver Stone for his film. There are so many good books out there about Jim by people who really knew him, don't waste your time with this one!

[Karen Jones · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this a difficult read. The prose at times was hard to understand. I appreciate that she was completely honest in showing how Jim mistreated her at times.
