Summary: Written by a Powerful Pen
Review: This book is a piece of imaginative genius both in cover and text. Though written as fiction a reader who has any knowledge of Morrison's lifestyle and behavior can visualize this as a candid possibility of what could have been...The author is a master of creative intelligence who has artfully penned a powerful story that has its reader waiting for the continuation at the end of the book. Though life indeed does end...imagination is eternal.

Summary: Good book - Good Cover - Good Website
Review: This book shows Jim Morrison as more than just a "wild man." It gives him heart even if it is just fiction. I don't understand why anyone would get so bent out of shape about this book. The story doesn't make him bad or good. It is simply a good story...that's all. If you don't like it...don't buy the next one...end of story.

Summary: Surprised by this great book
Review: This book was a gift; I personally do not care much for the music of the Doors, but I was quite surprised to find myself caught up in this story - it offered a very interesting perspective from a man to whom I have never given much thought. After the first few journal entries my attention was held tight, all the way to the end. I'm actually curious about how the diaries will continue, and will not hesitate to snatch the next installment off the shelf as soon as it's released. I'll undoubtedly use this book as Christmas gifts for everyone at the office.

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: This review is for all true Doors fans out there. This review is for those who are well versed in the poetry of Jim Morrison. This book is a crock and a waste of time. Although, it is listed very quietly as "fiction", many people will miss this and think they are viewing true "lost diaries" from the real Morrison. The text itself is a lame attempt to emulate Morrison's voice using overly used cliches and poor metaphors. At times the author tries desperately to insert the theme of "death" into the writing as Morrison used to so eloquetly do but it is really like my blind grandmother who has only one leg try to mimic Michael Jordan's fade-away jumpshot. The very "feel" of this whole book is false and masked. What a waste of time....please don't bother.

Summary: Diaries a scam?
Review: Those diaries of Jim Morrison are probably a forgery. It reminds me of the fake Hitler's diaries a few years back. Furthermore, according to a friend who visited the website for the book, he left a message in the guestbook expressing his doubts about the diaries, and it got changed by the webmaster into a positive review! Many witnesses were present with my friend when it happened. This, already, is a bad sign. I visited the website myself to read some excerpts of the book. The writing doesn't feel like Morrison. It doesn't have this sparkle you see in his poems, and believe me, I have ALL of Morrison's writings. It doesn't feel right. I think that poets in general, and Morrison in particular, deserve better than this. If you love the Lizard King, buy his books, they are all available at Amazon, and pass these "lost diaries". Go for the real thing.
