It looks at the relationship he had with the woman he considered his soul mate. which is something that has been obscured by the rest of his outrageous life. The author has obviously done her homework and presents it in a concise and well-written manner. They were a young couple in love who had some dramatic ups and downs. but nothing ever changed the connection they had with each other. I felt like I was shown a more human side of Jim Morrison and it was refreshing. My only complaint is that it seemed to end rather abruptly - but then. so did Jims life. with Pamela right behind him. I get the feeling that when Jim died. so did Pam. and it just took a little longer for her body to catch up. If you are a fan of rock biographies in general and Jim Morrison in particular. you will enjoy this book.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Finally. the real Jim Morrison love storyBy bookworm77I really loved this book. It felt factual and accurate to me. Patricia Butler takes her time telling you about Jim and Pam. starting in their childhoods and ending when Pam died. She can site all of her sources. She talked to ALOT of people close to the couple. She paints a very real picture. and doesnt over romanticize their very stormy relationship. At the same time. she explaims how. despite their troubles. Pam Courson is the only woman who can be considered Jim Morrisons "cosmic mate". There have been a lot of women who have claimed to have been Jim Morrisons true love. This book is the final word on that. She also talks alot about Jims life before the doors. interviewing people who knew him best at those times. We learn things that may give some perspective on the tortured inner workings of a rock star who would have rather been a poet. We also learn about the circumstances surrounding Jims death. For me. this book answered a lot of questions.I only hope that where ever Jim and Pam are. they are together and at peace.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good BookBy pianoguy87The best insight about Pamela you could ever read. I didnt know how wild she was until I read this book. When Meg Ryan plays her in the film. it is the total opposite of how she really was. I have read a lot about Jim from other books. so I kind of knew everything already the book talked about. Its a good book if you want to know more about Pamela.
