Alongside the death of Elvis Presley and the assassination of John Lennon, Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994 ranks as one of the generational milestones of American life - an epochal event in both rock 'n' roll and youth culture. This book is the story of Kurt Cobain's life, from abject poverty to unbelievable wealth, power and fame. It traces the journey from his humble origins in Aberdeen to becoming lead singer of Nirvana, the most popular rock band in the world from 1991 to 1994, and the most influential band of this decade. The beautifully written text is complimented by 16 pages of photographs. Based on over one hundred interviews, Charley Cross allows us to understand Kurt Cobain's personality. This is an incredible tale of a strange, tortured and very talented man.

i'll keep this short.if you want to read about kurt cobain/nirvana.buy this.forget all the other books.it begins and ends here.a powerful and haunting account of the most important band of the 90's.essential even to non-nirvana fans.

I just recieved it so I haven't read it yet, but it looks really nice.
It looks just like the one on the picture, so what you see is what you get.

Theres two parts of the book where there's photo paper with photos of Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Dave Grohl etc.

Lookin forward to read it.

 BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN,BUT IS IT ALL TRUE?

Top 100 Music Reviewer

I will admit i really enjoyed this book,though i did wonder if Courtney was being painted as a nicer person than she actually is.
Have just read some really negative reviews on other sites claiming courney had a lot to do with this,and yes,i do wonder.
I'd say it's always been quite clear that Kurt wasn't a very happy guy inside,and it would seem likely that he often considered suicide.
I was willing to accept that this was the truth to the author's knowledge,but some stories may've been a little different to actuality. Now i wonder how much assuming or twisting of the truth was done.
I won't go back on my belief that this is a well written book,that i was very impressed by,but i suppose it is just another version of the whole Cobain story. And to be honest,i've always had a problem with Courtney's version,so if this has got a lot to do with her,perhaps it is a little tainted.
I suppose unless you were there at the time,you'll never know the full facts. It's a book that gets you thinking though.
