Publisher Description

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.

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. Showing you the Lizard King as you've never seen him before, this classic best seller will take you through to the other side.

"I know it's a high rating for a book about a self-indulgent icon of Neo-Peter-Pannism. But cut my some slack. I was seventeen. One thing that sets his tale apart from other tales of self-destructive rock-stars was Morrison's detached theoretical interest and practical road-testing of crowd manipulation and mass psychology."

    " I am a big fan of The Doors music since I was a little kid. I was very young when The Doors broke up but it was very interesting to read the biography of an iconic 60's music icon. Val Kilmer did a great job of playing him (along with Meg Ryan as his girlfriend) in the movie. "

    " This book only heightened my love for this brilliant artist, who was taken from this Earth far to early. By going into his past and better understanding his personal life, I fell even more enchanted with the haunting lyrics to his songs. An interesting life, only enhanced by a brilliant author who researched very well. "

    " It's a long time since I read this but my lasting impression was how much of a wanker Jim Morrison was and how pathetic his sycophantic disciples were. Unfortunately the author is a worshiper at the alter of Morrison and I think I'd prefer a biog written from a slightly more objective point of view. "

    " A great read for someone interested in the life and times of Jim Morrison and The Doors. Events and interactions that may not have been publicized and glimpses into the wild thing that acted out and the introvert that lay beneath. Vivid and realistic descriptions and good storytelling. "

    " This book shows just how much real life, in this case a real person, trumps any fictional character on any aspect of being peculiar. Jim was very unpredictable. Most of the book showed how he could be rude, vulgar. But it also showed how he had a soft side for some people. "
