Cobain

Summary: A Lesson Learned
Review: I recommend this book to almost anyone. I enjoyed it very much so, and even though I can not yet compare it to anything else, a good summary of Mr.Cobain's life. As told from the title most of the book is focused on the life of Kurt and not so much on the band (or at least that is my opinion). As in most cases of the average teenager life, it is busy, but i could'nt put this book down. I learned many things about Kurt/Nirvana, but mostly about life.

Summary: decent account
Review: I think this book was well put together. Although it fails to illustrate many points surrounding his death that have not been discussed in the media. Because the people at Rolling Stone have been misinformed on many details of his death, and have them all in one book. I like the fact that they have all accounts of Kurt (from Rolling Stone) together. But I'm kinda sick of the automatic suicide judgement. Why hasn't a magazine like Rolling Stone discussed all the evidence pointing to murder by Michael DeWitt?

Summary: Well...
Review: I'm an 11 year old girl in 6th grade so it's not like I really know much about books but, some gal who works for my mom said I could borrow her book and this one was really good. Since I only been a Nirvana fan for like 2 months, I've never read any of it or seen most pix so I'd reccomend and I'm like halfway thru Kurt Cobain the book and I like....well written, truthful story.

Summary: Oh what a pretty book
Review: If you want a pretty view of cobain read this. I think I've read 4 bio's on Kurt. This book makes him normal, just a guy with some pain and an alienation problems, so he does lots of drugs and kills himself. How romantic. A more realistic read is Christopher Sandfords Kurt Cobain. It ain't pretty but it reads honest.

Summary: the only cobain book to buy
Review: Ironic that the best of many books released in the months after Cobain's death would be a collection from Rolling Stone, alleged promoters of the "corporate rock" he battled against. The editors of this collection of RS articles wisely chose to make it a true memorial, remembering the past, the good and the bad, while not pontificating uselessly on the meaning of Cobain's suicide. Many have tried in vain to be artfully profound in the wake of Kurt's death, magazine writers and newspapermen. This kind of purple prose is luckily absent from COBAIN, and the majority of the articles are very well written. Also included are many wonderful photographs; Kurt with his daughter, the infamous bridge from "Something in the Way", Kurt with a kitten perched on his shoulder, the beautiful cover, Kurt surrounded by Stargazers during Nirvana's Unplugged performance. In the rush to publish something in the summer of 1994, the market was saturated with books on Nirvana and Cobain. This one was the best and still is. It leaves questions unanswered, as well it should.
