5.0 out of 5 stars Why are people so bitter?, April 18 2004
As I read some of the reviews on this page I am struck by a few things that resonate through the negative ones:
BITTERNESS that Ed Conlon got paid a decent advance. Probably wouldn't have if a lot of other publishers didn't also think he had potential to write a great book. Guess what? He did.
SELF-LOATHING that maybe Ed Conlan got a better education than they did. From the looks of it he earned it and didn't get it handed to him like a lot of people, including our president.

Kurt Cobain Journals by Kurt Cobain
5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, Nov 6 2002
The Cobain Journals are done with such care and quality as to offer those of us who are interested in the mind of Kurt Cobain a unique window into it. To see his actual writing and artwork reproduced in full color is incredible. While I have waivered about the issues of privacy invasion, the nature of his writing seems to be with an audience in mind. I feel lucky to be part of the audience. Everyone seems to have an opinion about Kurt. Writers drone on him. A blessing to have Kurt given the chance to offer his own views!
