Book Reviews of Journals
Book Review: Something nice for the dissapointed Nirvana fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I stil can't believe how popular Nirvana is. Even after the death of Kurt, its just amazing how long these guys have lasted. THis book is a nice extension for the dissapointed fans.
You get to really go behind the scenes with Nirvana. Get to see Kurts frustrations and how he basically wrote his music. You got to see how Kurt viwed the world on certain days. You can actally see how depressed he got and how happ he was on other days. You get to really see his serious mood swings in each of the different journal entry's. You also get to really know Kurt better on a more personal level.
Great extention, it is inpiring. Its more like a movie or biograhpy, except u get to really go down even deeper to get to know Kurt.
A good book for the dissapointed fans out there. Its aways good just to always know more in detail about the most interesting rock star of all time. Kurt is a neat guy and god bless him.
Book Review: Grow up and read this book if you're so inclined to do so!

The problem with the people who give Journals a negative review is the fact they haven't read Journals. And the kicker is that these so-called "fans" are so terrified of reading it and somehow "desecrating" Kurt Cobain's soul in the process that they dare not read it. These tpes of people don't even belong here reviewing something they haven't even read let alone opened with their own hands. It's not like Kurt's going to come back from the dead to haunt any of you people; None of you are even worth it. Anyway, Journals is a good read for anyone interested in the documentation of an every-man's life because it's such a rare thing to see someone's letters of any profession, word-for-word (the airbrushing was a rumor... or not!), in their own handwriting. To the naysayers: Go naysay your heads off, and don't come back 'til you read Journals.Book Review: Huh? Great American what?
Summary: 5 Stars
Kurdt Kobain, was one of America's great mythologies, his persona, escapes popular criticism and parodies it. That we have been lucky enough to witness Kurt Cobain in his drunkenness, acid trips, his love, his heartbreaks, his heroin hangover, his supremacy, his everything in the full Technicolor of "The Journal".
For example: Here is Jim Morrison's personal journal. Here is Isaac Newton's personal journal (which sold for 14 million). Here is Edgar Allen Poe's personal journal IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING mind
Here is Abraham Lincoln's handwriting musing how he loved the act three and...
See my point?
Yes, Kurt, whored himself unintentionally, but I believe the stories, along with the music, create exactly what he [and we] wanted, and we still want more...
Where is Journal #3??

Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start out saying that i am an avid fan of kurt cobain and love all his work. there were many things i enjoyed in this book, and there was absolutely nothing that i dident like. there is two reasons for this, 1. its a collection of journals, therefore it cant be judged badly because it was not meant to be read, and two i allready had a preconcived opion of kurt cobain, so i could not have any complaints. the things i really really liked in this book are: kurt completely related to my feelings of indesicion and feeling lik im lost in his book, the way he explains his emotions in the journals can be compared to many of our current youth today. the only thing i have to say to improve this book, allthough they are his personal journals and need no improvements, is that the writeing in the book should be a little more ledgible.Book Review: I can't wait to buy the next volume
Summary: 5 Stars
To quote a previous reviewer, "I cringe at the idea of selling Kurt's thoughts"...Hypocrite. You sure didn't cringe when you bought his thoughts put to music, now did you? You've had to have bought his albums to love and appreciate Kurt as a musician, so you therefore had no issue with the selling of his thoughts then, now did you? He even encouraged people to read his thoughts in his journals (see his "figure me out" quote). He may or may not have meant this as sarcastic, but we'll never know. And since Kurt didn't destroy his journals before he died, he wanted SOMEONE to open them up for a good read. On the journals themselves: They're excellent. Kurt's a really interesting man with a penchant for clever writing. I Can't wait to buy the next volume.
