Editorial Review:
An inside look at the life of one of the most thought-provoking men of all time - Kurt Cobain. Examining an artisitic genius who was light years ahead of his time, this is an unfailing account of Nirvana's rise and Cobain eventual descent.
Never Fade Away: The Kurt Cobain Story Reviews:
Okay book! 
2009-04-02 - If you are looking for a general glimpse into the like of Kurt Cobain, this is an okay book; however, there are better Cobain biographies.
...
2007-11-04 - Another Courtney Love propaganda tool. She can't even keep her story straight, so how people are dumb enough to believe the lies is beyond me. Check out Tom Grant's website for some truly eye-opening information.
Courtney Love and her book of lies. . .
2005-08-24 - I had the chance to review this on the internet before buying. Thankfully I did. I would not recommend this book to anyone who really gave anything for Kurt Cobain and or Nirvana. The book is inaccurate and follows a form known as Courtney Love and her book of lies. She helped write this book and who knows what is true and what is not. My opinion is to try Love and Death or Who killed Kurt Cobain or for that matter, try Tom Grant's Investigation manual. Written by someone other than Ms. Courtney Love herself.
A pretty good book. 
2005-05-24 - I bought this book one day at a bookstore because I didn't have much money but I was deeply interested in the Cobain story. I ended up being enthralled by it and I loved it.
But it does have some serious flaws. If you are someone who has a passing interest in Nirvana or someone who wants a very affordable, quick explanation of Kurt Cobain's story because of his popularity & influence, then this may be a good book for you. But if you are someone who loves Nirvana or someone who wants to actually understand Kurt Cobain's story as best as possible, don't get this book and instead purchase "Heavier Than Heaven" by Charles Cross.
Although Never Fade Away is an interesting book and it does describe some good stories & good information, upon reading Heavier Than Heaven I realized how inadequate Never Fade Away is. Charles Cross was given access to deep important information that others can not chance upon, and it makes Never Fade Away look unresearched and from afar. It gets important facts wrong, occasionally. Heavier Than Heaven truly is the definitive biography.
The most boring Kurt Cobain book
2004-12-27 - This book has no structure... Its so boring. Usually when I read a book about Kurt Cobain I cant put it down, but this one I could... EASILY. Ive tried on many occasions, to read this book and stick with it, but I couldnt. Its almost like a addict who cant quit whatever, they just fail. And I failed to enjoy this book. Its boring, and it only talks about stuff Ive already heard. And it documents when the fans and world heard about Cobain's death. Its a good thing I didnt buy it new, and got it for $2.99 at Half Price books, I couldnt have ever forgiven myself for wasting my money on this. Its even worse than Heavier than Heaven... Read Who killed Kurt Cobain? or Love and Death, by the same genius authors. The truth is in those novels.
