    Truthful, dive in the mind of Kurt

    Awesome sauce, great price for paperback! A great read for any nirvana fan, or music fan in general also. Dive into the mind of a great song writer, guitarist.

  • It's a good peek into the mind of Kurt Cobain.

    Lots of content. Words from Kurt himself. Tid bits of lyrics and drawn pictures, but mostly pics of actual pages he wrote on. Pretty sure he's be mad anyone is reading it according to the first page. Ï bought it because I want to know who Kurt was. I didn't like how it's pretty abstract as it's in no order and it just parts of many of his journals and of course is in no particular order. It's the only Kurt Journal I have read so I am not sure how to compare it to others.

  • Why I bought the Kurt Cobain journals

    I bought the journals of Kurt Cobain because I am a very big fan of his music and just wanted to better understand the man behind the lyrics. I wanted to see how he wrote and what he wrote about. To me a book or journal on Kurt Cobain could never be to long or extensive because the admiration that his true fans have for him and his music will never end.I brought this book because of that reason and I am very happy to own a copy of his personal journal(even though I don't believe he would be very happy that his diary is floating around for everyone to read.) I strongly believe that this makes a great gift for every nirvana fan.............IT'S A MUST to have if you a passionate about the band Nirvana. crp188

  • Great Read

    I found this Journal at a store in Seattle when I was visiting but they wanted $30+ I bought on here and it's a good inside view of how Kurt Cobain thought and good reads before Nirvana became successful. I recommend this.
