Summary: The Truest Account thus far!
Review: This is the truest account of Pamela and Jim's relationship that I've read thus far! Patricia Butler did an excellent job and research, it had to be accurate otherwise Hopkins wouldn't have done the intro. I believe Butler's account of Pam and Jim more than I will EVER believe Patricia Kennealy and that farce of a Pagan Wedding she forced on Jim when he was high and drunk and thought they only did it for fun, he never once believed that he was married to Patricia Kennealy, and to tack on Morrison's name behind hers, now that's guts. I have no wish to read the tale of Patricia Kennealy... who has always talked about herself and her feelings in her writings, not caring about what Jim would have really thought. Yes I believe Pam and Jim loved each other and they were 'cosmic mates' and I hope Pam and Jim are at peace wherever they may be in the afterlife.

Summary: another fictional tale
Review: People believe what they want to believe. And the author of this book, Ms. Patricia Butler, must desperately want to believe that Pamela Courson was a decent person and really loved Jim Morrison. She didn't love him - she only used him for money and security. On July 3, 1971, she watched as Jim died from her addiction. She was never married to him (common law or otherwise). They only had a marriage license application that was never filled out or turned in. Ms. Butler has no right to call her "Mrs. Morrison". But, when the people you write about are dead, you can do whatever you want, right? This book is very badly written and it has no literary value at all. Go read Patricia Kennealy-Morrison's book Strange Days for a real look at Jim Morrison and the woman he called wife. You'll be very glad you did.

Summary: Very good book on Jim Morrison!
Review: This book describes detail by detail the romance Jim and Pam had together but it also tells about the bad childhood Jim had as a kid, and his band "The Doors", if you have seen the movie and haven't read the book, I really recommand that you do because it's a must have for all Doors fans!!

Summary: The BEST Morrison book EVER!
Review: I have read a lot of books about Jim Morrison and this one is by far the best. It is not written by a so-called ex lover as are the books by Linda Ashcroft and Patricia Kennealy, which are full of lies that dead people cannot fix. It is the ONLY book that gives Pamela the credit that she deserves, as she was Jim's only TRUE lover! This book is well written and will take you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. I recommend this book to every Doors fan and every Pamela Morrison fan. It is one of my favorite books of all time.

Summary: new stuff
Review: The main points of interest here are the revelations about Jim Morrison's adult homosexual experimentation and the possible child molestation he suffered as a child that may have been the root of his extreme behavior. I thought the conclusion that he died of an asthma attack, considering the new revelations that Morrison died of a heroin overdose as revealed in Jerry Hopkins book THE LIZARD KING, ludicrous. It's like the bullfighter friend of Hemingway's I once read an interview with who said Hemingway died of an "accident" not suicide. That asthma is a much more acceptable cause of death than a herion overdose doesn't mean it's true. (And frankly I could care less about Pamela Courson.) But the new info and believable info here that I haven't read elsewhere is worth looking at.

Summary: you see
Review: The flame was never doused. Jim and Pam disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared. They may have been commonlaw, but they were a nuclear family.

Summary: Pamela Finally Gets Attention by RHill46608@aol.com
Review: Patricia Butler does a brilliant job in uncovering new facts about the relationship between Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson. Previous books about Jim underestimated his relationship with Pam. Butler's book looks at the couple's tender side and battles. It is obvious that Jim loved Pamela to the chagrin of Patricia Kennealy. I was not aware that Pam encouraged Jim at the end of his life to reconcile with his parents. Also, I was not privy to Jim's relationship with Tom Reese. Tom and Jim had a brief homosexual fling during Jim's stay at St. Petersburg Junior College. Furthermore, Butler mentions that Jim was molested as a small boy. When Jim told his mother, she called him a liar. Perhaps this explains some of Jim's bizarre episodes that occurred later in his life.
There are a few facts that trouble me. Butler attributes Jim's death to asthma. In Break on Through by James Riordan and Jerry Prochnicky, they have reliable evidence that Jim got into Pam's heroin, and overdosed. Also, many sources from other Morrison books say that Pam became a severe drug addict after Jim's death. Butler does not mention this. Instead, she paints a better picture of Pam during her last years. I did not like how the book jumped through periods. For example, Butler dwells on Pam's relationship with Randy Ralston after Jim's death. What else was she doing? Other books point to her dark side; i.e. drugs, sexual affairs. Furthermore, Jim never planned on leaving The Doors. John Densmore reveals in his book Riders on the Storm that Jim was writing more material in Paris for a new album. Butler also relies heavily on No One Here Gets Out Alive for material.
In conclusion, I recommend this book to Doors fans. Although some facts can be disputed, the book is far better than Oliver Stone's movie. I learned that Jim and Pam did love each other, despite their fights and drug addicted personalities.
