Title: An insult to Morrison and his fans
Review: Stephen Davis seems to have done his research in gossipy internet chat rooms and other places where old rumors are kicked around for years, the more scandalous the better. Davis has simply taken a lot of really old stories from previously published sources, thrown in a couple of interviews with people no one's ever heard of before, and is presenting it as new revelation. It's not. This is just the same old silly stories packaged up between fancy new covers. Fans won't learn anything about the real Morrison or what really happened to him. All they'll get is a lot of reheated gossip that wasn't worth the paper it was written on the first time it was published -- or the second, or the third, or the... Fans who really want to know Morrison should read his poetry, or read Frank Lisciandro's "Feast of Friends" or Patricia Butler's "Angels Dance and Angels Die" for a look at the real Jim Morrison.
