Book Reviews of Riders on the Storm: My Life with Jim Morrison and the Doors

Book Review: 10 out of 5 stars!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I chose to do my book report on the book called , The Riders On The Storm , by John Densmore. This book mainly talks about the life of John Densmore as the drummer of the 60's rock group, The Doors. It starts off by John going to Paris to see Jim Morison's grave. Then it goes back in time when The Doors we actually becoming a famous band. The books talks about how they went through numerous problems and how they overcame it. John shows the reader what lied inside their world of the doors, what we couldn't see.

What I like in this book is all the humor and all the entertaining/ interesting stories that were told in the book. My favorite part of the book would have to be about the draft. All the silly thing they did to try and avoid going to the army, saying that they were gay, eating foil, taking drugs, I found that hilarious. When I read the book a felt a connection between the reader (Me) and the writer (John) when he would talk about his feelings toward the song, kind of like he read my mind , I liked that too.

What I didn't like about the book was that John would start to go into detail he would go off-topic some what and then later he would get back on track, it was very confusing I tend to lose my place. Also when he starts to tell a story about his girlfriend for like a page and 30 pages later he would mention her, kind of bad timing. Sometimes he would say one thing then say the opposite. Overall I really like the book a lot and I would recommend it to any one who is a Doors' fan. I had lot of fun reading this book.
