Book Reviews of No One Here Gets Out Alive
Book Review: Outstanding Bio!
Summary: 5 Stars
This biography was incredibly well written. Spanning the entire life of Jim Morrison, the book covers most sides of Jim Morrison's public (and private) persona. I walked away from Oliver Stone's 'The Doors' thinking that Morrison was an insane drunk who really didn't feel much love for anyone but himself. This book changed my attitude. Yes, Jim was a raging drunk who did some really stupid things, but there was also a human side to him...whether it was in quiet deep conversations with friends or getting Rolling Stone's tickets for one of his workers, Morrison did have a loving side to him.
The book delves into his young life as an almost fatherless child. It talks a great deal about his literature influences at a young age...and when you read what his influences were you start to understand his music more. The book covers the start of Morrison's musical career as well as his career in poetry.
I especially loved the pictures scattered throughout the book...there is a section in the middle of the book of glossed pages full of pictures, as well as tons of photos throughout the book itself. Through these pictures you really see the physical toll that alcohol was taking on him during his short time of being a 'rock star/poet'
Another great feature of this book was that I came to learn that Jim was more of a poet than a rock star. He was a great performer but was sick of it...He wanted to be poet first and foremost.
Anyways, to anyone even remotely interested in the Doors, I 100% recommend this book. It is well researched and well written, and shows a side of life most aren't accustomed to.
Summary of No One Here Gets Out Alive
Here is Jim Morrison in all his complexity-singer, philosopher, poet, delinquent-the brilliant, charismatic, and obsessed seeker who rejected authority in any form, the explorer who probed "the bounds of reality to see what would happen..." Seven years in the writing, this definitive biography is the work of two men whose empathy and experience with Jim Morrison uniquely prepared them to recount this modern tragedy: Jerry Hopkins, whose famous Presley biography, Elvis, was inspired by Morrison's suggestion, and Danny Sugerman, confidant of and aide to the Doors. With an afterword by Michael McClure.Music Books
