Quite possibly, the best book written on The Doors. Ray Manzarek dances his words around us with gravity, humour and astonishing honesty. I picked it up and couldn't put it down, finished it in a night and promptly read it again. Some great insights, information & indepth analysis on The Doors history, past, present & future. You live the story as the author takes you on a journey through the mid sixties, early seventies & up to when the book was penned. It will have its critics, though what great work of non-fiction doesn't? My favourite book on The Doors with each sentence encouraging further reading. Outstanding.
What better account of the Doors can you get than from one who lived it? Ray's account may be slightly glossy, but then maybe his experience was truly glossy. Furthermore, not at all morbid but glowingly joyous. He does have several digs at Oliver Stone, the director of the film "The Doors", pointing out inaccuracies. Ray's book is Highly recommended.
