Publisher Description
In this compelling biography, Christopher Sandford explores the full, inside story of Kurt Cobain.
From the disruptive childhood which had such a crucial impact on Cobain's personality to the ambitious career musician who, as a friend said, "lunged for success", and the worldwide breakthrough of Nirvana's Nevermind, Sandford also writes about Cobain's stormy marriage to Courtney Love, his heroin addiction, and how he became more and more of a recluse. Finally, he writes of the crisis when, in April 1994, Cobain turned a shotgun on himself and became a martyr for disaffected youth.
The result is a saga of success and corruption which John Peel has called "the ultimate rock and roll morality story".

Great Read
I've read a few books about Kurt and this one is definitely the best.it portrays him for what he was, a mentally ill,sexist,wastrel prone to narcissistic rages. He was surrounded by people who claim, now, to have been his friend. If they were his friend, they would have stood up to him and his phoniness, his egomania,his hatred of his fans but they didn't because they were and are, just like him.I'm glad The author has dispensed with the sycophantic attitude which was so prevalent in other books about Kurt.
