Negative Positive
Title: Too much speculation...
Review: The author presents his own view of the meaning behind the lyrics of some songs as definitive and without qualifications. For example, the book presents "Rape Me" as being an about Kurt's struggles with the lack of privacy accompanying his new fame, while the song was actually written before the release of "Nevermind" and Kurt himself said in interviews that the song was about literal rape and a revenge fantasy of a rapist being raped in jail. The book doesn't even mention the second meaning, and perhaps both are valid, but the presentation in the book is one-sided. This error was very obvious to me when I read the book and destroyed the credibility of the whole work.
Is the review positive or negative?
