Wilderness : The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison

Rating:
Summary: Poetry only a die-hard fan could love
Review: It's sad that Morrison wanted to be remembered as a poet when the sad fact is that he really wasn't that good of a poet. Abstract and vague, tending toward rambling private lines, _Wilderness_ simply isn't poetry. Rather, it is a collection of ideas and insights by a man who was truly talented. Morrison could write SONGS--not poetry. Perhaps he graced us with "The End," but poetry is not his forte. I am always moved by "When the Music's Over" and "The Unknown Soldier," but with the maudlin and confused lines offered in _Wilderness_, I can't help wondering exactly what Morrision had in mind. A good ready only for die-hard Doors/Morrison fanatics.

Review: Jim Morrison was a song writer and a poet. The words in this book pop out and give a sense of understanding. This book brought thoughts to me that would never have been.

Rating:
Summary: A Book of our Generation
Review: Jim's words have always reached out and touched me and I have always understood them. These poems have uniquely devised a way into our minds to speculate ways of thinking and that was the one thing Jim wanted. Freedom. Freedom for the people of his generation and those still to come to understand there are ways to think other than those of our scholastic ways of learning.

Summary: I thought the book was excellent and very entertaining
Review: my name is Larry and I thought the book was very well written, considering the shape jimmy was in when he wrote this peculiar but, I really enjoyed reading it. I can't really think right now what the book was really about mostly because I haven't read it in about 10 years. Yes its bean about 10 years since I've read it.

Review: Simplemente no habra por lo menos durante mucho tiempo otro genio como jim, para muchos jim tan solo era un exelente cantante pero para los que lo entendiamos el era un genio de la poesia.

Summary: A study in mind alteration
Review: The fact that he writes most of his poetry and song in drug induced trance is what makes this book compelling to me. He wrote what most were afraid to confront within themselves. Anger, sadness, rebellion. No matter how horrible the thought, he wished to express it. No matter how negative the response, he would voice this thought, however sinister it may be. True poets share all. This book gives a glimpse into the best rock band of all time. A voice so distinct in a sea of musical monotony. To this day no band has a quality so unique as the music of the doors and jim morrison. Chode!
