don't waste your money on this pseudo-biography. the author barely bothered to double-check his information, relying completely on Courtney's contradicting accounts. it's so sick to make it seem like this beautiful soul was nothing but a suicidal, depressed addict. this book is so full of lies and misconceptions to support the claim that he didnt really care about anything and Courtney was this savior. it's a pity how many people who never knew Kurt will just accept this book as fact. if you want to know him better, watch his interviews, especially the ones after Frances, and don't trust a word that comes out of Courtney's mouth.
