Description
Few people were as close to the rock singer Jim Morrison as the author of Strange Days. In this biography she discloses the truth of their short life together and elements of his nature that conflict with the consensus view of a crazy abusive type.Tags

A fascinating coming of age story written by an intelligent woman who fell in love with a complex, talented and ultimately troubled man. Oh yeah... and he's a rock star.
I enjoyed this book as I always felt that Jim had many sides to him. I think that his love for Patricia was just as strong as his love for Pam. Each woman brought out different things in Jim. I commend Patricia for telling her story. It really was time to hear her side of what happen with Jim. Her insight on the Oliver Stone film was interesting as well.
I found this book in the backseat with me on a roadtrip. It was pretty bad overall, though some parts were interesting. One must wonder how nonfictional it is, though.
