Editorial Review:
This book details the events leading up to the 8th April 1994, the day Kurt Cobain's body was found at his Seattle home. It examines the rise and fall of Nirvana, their musical legacy and the aftermath of his suicide within the international rock community. Finally it looks at the role of Courtney Love, Cobain's wife and the mother of his daughter, in the tragedy and attempts to put the rock star's death into some perspective.
Nirvana Tribute: The Life and Death of Kurt Cobain the Full Story Reviews:
It wasn't suicide 
2004-01-23 - Kurt did not commit suicide. Spread the word, because people need to know the truth. Go to justiceforkurt.com and I promise you will change your mind for good.
~Alma, 15
Rest in peace dear Kurt, I'll always love you.
condemning kurt cobain is not a tribute to nirvana. 
2003-09-05 - i have no idea what kind of nirvana tribute suzi black hoped to accomplish by writing this book. i have just finished reading the book, and i'm angry and hurt by all the unfounded, condemning, moral judgements she made about kurt cobain's suicide.
the book itself is an unimpressive repetition of everything we all know and have read elsewhere about kurt -- and some of it is misquoted and wrongly stated in this book. it's just a lame attempt to cash in on the huge market created by kurt's death. but it's all passable until the very end where she jumps into the jury seat and begins to judge and degrade kurt for his choice of suicide, citing the usual moral cliche nonsense that we hear from those who've never been truly depressed or desperate enough to contemplate ending their lives. nobody has the right to judge anyone until they've walked in their shoes for a mile. this bit of wisdom is totally lost on the author of this book. she is way out of line writing such harsh and inaccurate judgements on a man off of whoes death she's making money. there are far better books out there written on kurt. save your money on this one. i have a world of love and respect for kurt cobain, and i will always cherish and honor him. that's why i'm going to throw this book in the garbage can and write a letter to miss black requesting that she keep her uninsightful and condescending opinions to herself. how dare she judge a man who was in so much pain as to want to die.
R.I.P. dear kurt. we will love you forever.
Cobain 
2002-03-15 - Kurt Cobain is a god in the music world, and he is also my god, i love him and i hate that he is no longer around i will always miss him.
kurt cobain is the man
I believe i am kurts biggest fan 
2001-05-10 - Ive read it as well as countless amounts of other material yes it is a good book but kurt didn't kill himself and it has other incorrect information as well. If your going to write a book get the facts strait
I'm not like them (but I can pretend) 
2000-04-07 - This was a very informative yet depressing book...many times -- most of the time actually -- I cried. And I don't cry a lot. I am a HUGE Kurt and Nirvana fan (as well as a Courtney Hater) and I thought I knew a lot about Kurt but I didn't and I learned a lot more through this book.
