Book Reviews of Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain
Book Review: not just a theory
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was exactly what I was expecting. Amazing, sad and wonderfully researched. I've been following Tom Grant's investigation and this explained a lot in detail, as well as provided new information (for example, transcripts of tapes with Courtney Love). It was fascinating and I couldn't put it down. There are TOO MANY inconsistencies in the Kurt Cobain police report and the "official version" of what happened. SPD needs to reopen the case and have it investigated by and independent agency. Consider this: 1. Kurt was not suicidal. 2. he did not escape rehab and THEN buy a gun (CL falsely reported this, he had the gun a month or so before). 3. there were no fingerprints of the gun or the pen used to write the "suicide note". 4. the "suicide note" was written by TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. 5. Kurt had so much heroin in his system he wouldn't have been able to shoot up, roll down his sleeve, put away the paraphernalia and then pick up the shotgun and kill himself (not to mention that the position of the gun would be laid perfectly across his chest, it should have ricocheted off).... THIS AND MORE IS DISCUSSED IN THIS BOOK. EXCELLENT READ FOR ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO KURT COBAIN. SHOWS THROUGH EVIDENCE AND LOGIC THAT THIS WAS NOT A SUICIDE AND THAT THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY!!! AFTER READING THIS YOU CAN SORT THE LIES AND PR SPIN FROM THE TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED AND DISTORTED FROM DAY ONE.
Summary of Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain
On Friday, April 8, 1994, a body was discovered in a room above a garage in Seattle. For the attending authorities, it was an open-and-shut case of suicide. What no one knew then, however, is that the deceased -- Kurt Cobain, the superstar frontman of Nirvana -- had been murdered. Drawing on case tapes made by a P.I. hired by Courtney Love when her husband escaped from drug rehab and went missing -- and on new forensic evidence and police reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act -- Love & Death explodes the long-standing theory that Kurt Cobain took his own life.
Award-winning investigative journalists Max Wallace and Ian Halperin have conducted a ten-year crusade for the truth, and in Love & Death they present a stunning, convincing argument that the whole truth has yet to be revealed.
