not a fan of kurt but the book was easy enough to grasp. i dont think it approached the question too well tho, but nice read if you just want to read something where u dont have to think too much
I found it very entertaining especially if you are into conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, the entire case is based on Courtney's irrational behavior - when in actuality, it would be more disturbing if she actually acted 'rational'

I've read the original claims about the heroin levels in Cobains blood and the counter claims about people actually surviving those levels. Hence, I really liked the fact that Helpering went over it again, dismissing the trials and addressing the issue in his revised edition. Cool.

Is that the one where they say that Kurt Cobain's fingerprints were nowhere to be seen on the gun? What do people make of that?

Yes, he brings up a slew of items that seem to make it impossible for Cobain to have pulled the trigger. Claims police misconduct and a bunch of other items.

Plenty of people buying into the conspiracey theory, but to me it's just that. Too many open items that will never be able to get resolution for one reason or another.

I read a book called "Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill". It's a book about dreams and dream analysis.

I'm glad you liked it. I loved it!! Perhaps you want to try The Virgin Suicides by the same author, but it's quite different, even if just as good (or better).
