The Lords and the New Creatures 39 reviews
Jim Morrison
Fireside, 1971
A political magnum opus of lexicon splendor:
+ Cool Book.
+ strange but decent
Morrison was indeed the William Blake of his day. His poems come across like the proverbial Quodlibet; promulgating a cognitive catharsis with visceral overtones that in many ways has an affect on the soul.

The Poet in Exile 28 reviews
Ray Manzarek
Thunder's Mouth Press, 2001
Excellent
+ So good.
Ray's easy narrative makes this a quick, but highly enjoyable read. The story is basically the one we all wish was true, what would happen if Morrison was still alive and had only faked his death in Paris.

Excellent work by Densmore in this candid biography. You not only gets under the skin of the author, but also gets an excellent account of the day-to-day ups and downs of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Densmore is as good a writer as he is a drummer. An important document that you ...

Jon E. Lewis
Chelsea House Publications, 1997
The compelling stories of extraordinary public figures lost to the world in their prime. Morrison exemplified everything that '60s rock and roll idealized.

Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel as Poet9 reviews
Wallace Fowlie
Duke University Press, 1994
Uncanny similarities
+ Beyond the legend of the Lizard King
Not only do Jim and Arthur have unbelivable talent, but thier lives are practicaly parallel. Startng from the lack of a father as children these men have lived similar lives. A well written book, "Rebel as Poet" displays this fact very well.

The Lost Diaries of Jim Morrison35 reviews
Marshal Lawrence Pierce III
Wasteland Press, 2003
It does seem that author does not equal intellectual
+ an artistic episode of debauchery Morrison might have led
Can it be that the author is expressing himself through the persona of Jim Morrison? That an author, himself, might be able to see this expression and celebrate it. I find it mistifying on how unsophisticated some people are. The reviews here either take the book too seriously or they take it ...
