I'm one of Courtney's biggest supporters. The Poppy Z. Brite biography tells you more than this book. Save your money.

Beautiful collection of diary entries, photographs, and lyrics. I'm afraid I cut my copy up to paste the photographs on my wall but of course, that is one thing you can do with your copy of 'Dirty Blonde'. It is an addicting read, very influential if you are a writer or musician yourself. It certainely shines a light on her lifestyle, on top of her perspectives on certain things and general interests. If you're a big Courtney Love fan you will adore this book, as did I.

Would of been better if I could actually decipher her handwriting! But I really enjoyed Courtney's pre-Kurt diary entries. As terrible as it is to say, it was so interesting to see her hopes and dreams for her life before Kurt and Frances. I really loved her entry about what she was going to teach to her children, even though it was bittersweet because you could really see that Courtney wanted to be a good mom but did not accomplish it. What I got out of the entries was that Courtney's writing style is scarily similar to Kurt's - minus the references to vaginas and heart shaped boxes, etc., she loves Kurt and Frances so much it was sometimes painful to read, and there was so much lost potential and brilliance in Courtney that was never made public. An interesting read altogether, though I would have found it helpful if she included text alongside her scrawl so we could fully understand the creative genius that was Courtney Love.

I love this book but I wish it included more journal entries, more snippets of Love's thoughts and feelings and writings rather than simple pictures and photocopies of pages lost and found.

literally could not read her handwriting- schools need to teach cursive

Less diary and more a photo journey with scribbles. Regardless she remains my favorite female rocker.
