Customer Reviews

A biography to end all biographies!
This book is excellent for avid Doors fans or anyone interested in the 1960's music and art scene. "No one here gets out alive" provides the reader with an accurate, honest account of Morrisons life from his days of having to move around with his family from state to state, to that tragic day in Paris in 1971. This biography gives you the chance to get to know the real Jim Morrison and anyone who wants to continue viewing him through rose coloured glasses probably shouldn't read this book as he was not quite the lovable rouge that we all hoped he would have been. This book is a brilliant read, not concentrating solely on Jim, it provides you with the other band members perspectives and thoses of the people around Jim in the 1960's. You will feel like you are back there with the Doors and you may even come to feel a little bit sorry for Jim Morrison when you realise that if he had only let himself live through the experience of fame and fortune instead of fighting against it, he would probably have been around for a lot longer.

this is the end, beautiful friend.
No one here gets out alive is an in-depth look at one of the most controversial and compelling bands of the late twentieth century. The book focuses on rock legend jim morrisons life with the doors and how he coped with the pressure of stardom. It follows his decent from a rock idol to millions of fans, to a world lined with drugs and alcohol which led to an untimely death at the tender age of 27. The world will never know what he had left to offer. Rest in peace James Douglas Morrison. The book is a rollercoaster ride which is a thrilling read and if you start this book you will find it very difficult to stop.
