sigurdas's review
5.0
When I bought this book I already knew basically everything about Kurt and Nirvana; nonetheless, this was one of the most enjoyable reads in my life, and it took me just several hours within two days to go from cover to cover - and I loved every bit of it.
First of all, the book is heavily illustrated, and because of the wider format of this book every picture offered a lot of depth: I could almost imagine me sitting with Kurt somewhere in Seattle or in some record studio and hearing and seeing and feeling everything he and other band members did; the portraits touched deeply, while generally the book offers quite a few photos I have never seen on Internet.
Second, the book in a sense is a chronological record of Nirvana, but the presentation of facts and dates are far from being dry, instead you basically get to live the Kurt's or Nirvana's life, experience day-to-day events according relatively short descriptions from a rather neutral perspective.
If one has to define a gripping book, this one won't do any shame in that.
