Summary: A Black&White 8mm film, handcolored and tragically lovely
Comment: I take a rather personal interest in ANGELS DANCE& ANGELS DIE, as I was aware of the book since it's beginnings. I was honored to read a few chapters as they were being fine-tuned by the author, and I must say the finished product was even better than I'd expected. Patricia Butler obviously did her homework on this, seeking out childhood pals of Jim's whose stories, until now, had remained untold. There are wonderful pics, as well, many of which had never been published. As an aside, I need to mention a strange brouhaha that has arisen around ANGELS DANCE & ANGELS DIE: the rantings of Jim's Witchwife, Patricia Kennealy Morrison, online and elsewhere, have served to make this book ALL THAT MORE APPEALING. She accuses Ms Butler of vilifying her late husband, Jim, but this book did NOTHING of the sort. It did show the deep love that Jim & Pam shared ~ something which Mz Kennealy-Morrison apparantly cannot handle. At least not with any show of grace. This disappoints me no end, as I found Kennealy's book wonderful ~ another side of the Story, but certainly not the ONLY side. I've been a Doors fan for decades and read everything I can get my eyeballs on about them, and Jim Morrison, especially. As Jerry Hopkins said in his blurb, if he'd written another book about Jim, ANGELS DANCE & ANGELS DIE would have been it.

Summary: Biography carried to a higher level
Comment: A good biography is one that captures the reader's attention and doesn't let go until the entire life story has been told. A great biography not only tells the story of a life, it shares the life in a personal, intimate way not achieved in other works. Patricia Butler has written a great biography. After reading this book, one comes to know both Jim and Pamela Morrison as much more than just names from our shared musical past. We meet them on the most intimate of levels, learning what makes them tick -- with each other, with their friends and families, with the fans of the Doors. This isn't a book just for fans of the Doors; it's a book for anyone who wants to know a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story. Buy this book, and read it. You will not be sorry that you did. Well done, Ms. Butler, well done indeed!

Summary: a poet & his muse
Comment: at first i wasn't too impressed with this book because i felt it was poorly written & found it difficult to read... but i chose to continue & am glad i did. finally, some justice for pamela. & to those upset that it didn't mention jim's other lovers, or patricia... have you forgotten this book clearly states ON THE COVER it's about the two of them?
