Summary: LIAR, LIAR, PATNS ON FIRE
Review: Ms. Ashcroft has a wonderful grasp on the English language, and is a talented writer. Too bad she wasted all this talent on a load of hog wash. How convenient that everyone who can corroborate her story is gone. I don't buy any of it for one minute.

Summary: Do not buy this [book!!!]
Review: I bought this book, and I have stopped reading it because I don't believe any of it. The book is almost 600 pages long, and
I frankly don't want to waste my time reading something that might be total [not good]. The author gives no evidence that she even new jim no photos, just some copy of a paper that she says jim gave her. Some of the stuff this lady claims is just so outrageous that it's incredible. For example, Morrison showed up at her house. So bottom line the author gives no credible evidence that she even new jim so don't waste your time reading this. Read "Angels dance and Angels Die." or "No one here gets out alive." Linda Ashcroft go sell your lies somewhere [else!!!]

Summary: ZERO STARS----naive readers beware
Review: I'd give this book ZERO stars, because it's a work of pure fiction... Before dishing out money for this book, Doors fans should try finding and reading the article by Salli Stevenson. Stevenson compared Ashcroft's claims to Jim's actual schedule, using Greg Shaw's book, "The Doors on the Road". If you can't find Stevenson's article, try reading "The Doors on the Road" by Greg Shaw if you want to know what Jim Morrison was REALLY doing, when he was supposed to be spending time with Ms. Ashcroft (hint...he wasn't flying kites with Linda, he was busy touring!!!).

Summary: Not believable
Review: Sorry, I don't believe this author had a four year relationship with Jim Morrison of Doors fame. It's doubtful that she even KNEW him.I believe Patricia K's story when it comes to bare facts, though her interpretations of Morrison's intent, feelings, and motivation might be questionable. But Linda's story, nope, I don't buy it. Save your money, don't buy this book.

Summary: Best book on Morrison to Date
Review: Linda Ashcroft's book on her experiences with Jim Morrison are written with a poetic prose and needle sharp accuracy. Everything in this book is factual; I have checked my own personal sources as well as my vast collection of published and unpublished works. There exists not one innaccuracy or stretching of truth or events in this book. More than a mere historical accounting of one adolescent's adventures with Morrison, it is a lyrical account of a deep pure love between two waif-like souls in the 1960's and early 70's.

Review: If I had to describe this indescribable book in one word it would be "Amazing"
First of all Linda Ashcroft(Ginger) takes you through the world of Jim. The side of Jim Morrison most people have never seen nor understood. It tells you in depth about him, her, and their secret life.I cry everytime I read this book, you actually Fall in love with Jim as much as Linda. She gives amazing detail of feeling and compassion in this book. You actually cry when she crys..smiles when she smiles..and feel like you are the one in Jims arms. Ive Been a Doors fan for awhile but after reading this book I had a whole new outlook on Jim. I honestly believe everything in the book did indeed occur. I actually get defensive and very angry when I read any other books about Jim Morrion and see false facts such as him being married to Pamela. Never happened. and As for all the Close minded beings out there who think this book is fiction because you dont believe she would have kept it secret, think about it, you dont even know her and are assuming its fake. She doesnt want the money and publicity she just wants to share her beautiful experience and this beautiful person with everyone. She wants people to see the real Jim. And Linda if your reading this Hats off to you!You definetly rock and I wish I could meet you. All in all whether you are a Doors fan or not you will LOVE this book. Its tear jerker and heart warmer, get ready to fall in love folks!Once you start youll wont want to put it down you will be sad when you get to the last page and the story ends. Youll want to read it again, and dont be intimidated by the 516 pages. The words are magical and by the end you will wish it was longer.
so for anyone who wants to know the truth about Jim Morrison- read Wild Child! Adios amazonians

Summary: The Most Romantic Story Ever Told About Jim Morrison
Review: First, the good news: This is a breathtakingly intimate portrait of James Douglas Morrison. And I use his full name here because I think it's a better portrait of James Douglas Morrison than of Jim Morrison. Only true Morrison fans will know what I mean. Ashcroft paints a picture of the Morrison who was sensitive, loving, creative, protective, generous, intellectual, romantic, playful, honorable, and charming. It's the Morrison that we know he was in greater or lesser measures, but that we nevertheless wish he was even more of. It's also the most dreamily romantic tale ever told about him. You can't not love him after reading this. The reader is seduced into loving him right along with the author--in fact, reading Ashcroft's story may well break you heart. Now, the bad news: Everyone who supposedly saw them together and could have corroborated her story is dead, or was so blasted at the time, they'd never remember her now. Also, all the letters, poems, gifts, jewelry, etc., that he gave her were conveniently stolen in a burglary. Not only that, but it's a clever literary device that she was underage, therefore, nobody could know about their relationship for Jim's legal safety. There isn't a single picture of them together. If he loved her so much, surely he could have posed for a very chaste photo (maybe taken by Bill Graham?). Most of the story takes place during her high school years, yet during all that time she didn't tell even one friend she was having an intimate relationship with the biggest rock star in America because what they had was special and private! It's a compelling and very romantic read, but it almost breaks your heart to realize that this story can't possibly be true, because for the most part, this is the Morrison that we all wish he was.

Summary: wild child is brilliant
Review: Absolute brilliance. Not only the experiences that she has gone through with such a powerful and amazing man, but the fact that she could write so beautifully and capture a moment in time so gracefully.

Summary: Wild Child???????
Review: I can't believe that someone who had such fleeting liasons with Mr Morrison could churn out 500 pages. The 1 photo of the author in the book, is the day before she went to a Doors concert??? Where are the photos of them together??? As fiction it is a sweet tale....but there are better books out there by people who really knew the man, and have the facts and evidence to back up their claims. If you want a book abut Jim and his women, get Angels Dance and Angels Die instead. Now that is a book.
