    'Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concerns during the last years.'--Kurt Cobain, April, 1994

    He was a living legend that decided to end his radical alteration of the music scene early. He ended his life as a revolutionary ¿god,¿ to some he was ¿god,¿ to others he was just known as Kurt Cobain. In Never Fade Away: The Kurt Cobain Story by Dave Thompson he is portrayed as an unstable, unpredictable, but an intelligent young man. The book starts out describing Kurt¿s tragic death in his Seattle home. It then goes into a little bit of explanation of the media¿s responses to the rumor of his death. It describes his background and a little bit about his wife, Courtney Love, and his daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. Next, the book moves into Kurt¿s rough childhood. It includes interviews with people who knew Kurt in his childhood, they all said that he was so extremely gifted, and smart. He was a very happy young child, but his life started to fall apart when his parents got divorced. The book crawls into his harsh life as an angst-ridden teen. It then explains the start of Nirvana. It begins with the rawness of the Seattle grunge scene and it travels to big arenas. The story is explained in a very raw and truthful manor. Overall, the book was very informative to someone who didn¿t know the full story. Even if you know nothing about the tragic story of Kurt, this is a great book to invest you valuable time in. I enjoyed reading the book and it was a definite page-turner. The way that the direct quotes from Kurt and people who knew him are embedded into the text is really quite genius. I love the way the book goes way further into the story and describes every detail of his life. At times while reading the book, I felt like I was living it with Kurt, which is compelling, raw, and not to mention a little bit scary. The book captures the crude spirit of rock & roll the way we know and love it. I recommend this book for anyone who wants the Cobain story in a truthful way. I wouldn¿t recommend it for anyone who can¿t handle the rough reality of life, or for someone who can¿t handle anything crude. All in all, this book was extremely great, compelling, canny, and just downright forthright. It is a great investment for anyone willing to read about the tragic story of Kurt Cobain.

    Speaking as someone who knew Kurt.

    This book is pretty much correct on everything that happened in Kurt's life. One of the best I've read about my bubby in a while. Courtney took my beloved cousin away from me! READ 'Love and Death' by Max Wallace and Ian Halperin.

    Good but could have been better

    Good but I wish that the book wouldn't make Courtney love as a hero or a victim because she wasn't

    Gripping and Insiteful..'Never Fade Away' is # 1

    This is one of the first books I've read about Kurt and probably the best. It was raw, real and amazing, just like Kurt. You got a lot of insite to his life outside the overly done fame. It is a door to the life of the infamous, depressing, thought provoking man who was lightyears ahead of his time. Its a 'must have' for Nirvana fans who want to step inside the hellish dream, that is Kurt Cobain.

    good for newbies

    if you don't know much about kurt cobain or nirvana this book is interesting and to the point. I have a wide knowledge of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana so I found it a quick to the point book... still quite interesting but nothing I didn't know and couldn't find a million websites on.

    A breakthrough book

    It's very rare to find a book this inspirering based on so many facts, that doesnt force a certian opinion on you. Even people not particularly interesterd in the Kurt Cobain story could get something from this book.
