Book Review: The Truth At Last
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is by far the most truthful and most accurate account of the life and times of THE DOORS The greatest RocknRoll band ever! Ray Manzarek portrays a most moving and emotional account of his life and that of the other doors - Jim Morrison in particular. This book gives you the real Jim Morrison - the poet. Ray Manzarek was almost it would seem a father figure to Jim and they had equal admiration for each other, along with Dorothy, Rays lover, soul mate and best friend. Dorothy was Rays inspiration and also it would seem a great support of the group especially when they first started. Also in this book I think you can really understand why there was so much friction between Jim Morrison and John Densmore. Ray is very tactful when he approaches this subject but also very truthful. There is no doubt Jim and Ray were the founders of this group but the Doors were made up of four people and it wouldn't have been the Doors if John and Robby weren't part of it. This book also give a good portrayal of how talented Robby Krieger was and how under estimated his contribution to the group had been portrayed in many other books. I would recommend this book to any die hard fans of the doors, and also if you want the real truth behind the legend of Jim Morrison this is the one to read. It portrays Jim as more than an alcoholic and junkie as many an author would have you believe. Jim Morrison was a Poet and a very sadly misunderstood person. One of the greatest talents of his time and his legend will ALWAYS live on.
