Book Reviews of The Lords and the New Creatures
Book Review: jim is god.
Summary: 5 Stars
jim was THE best poet of this century. not to mention the founder of modern rock and roll. his early death was a tragic loss for mankind. but his music and his words live on thru books like this and the music of the doors. someday jim will be revered as shakespeare, frost, dante, or rumi. he was way above their league...Book Review: Cold Finland at Christmastime 18.12.1998
Summary: 5 Stars
`Cause English isn't my real language, I didn't understand all the words, but those I did... The World lost a lot when it lost Jim. He was a poet, singer, incredibly good lookin', but most of all the Poet. I've never read anything like that in my hole life, and I never will. He was something really special and his poetry... WOW! Dark, but not too much. Love, hate, all the powerful feelings. Feelings that matter. You oughta read this if you haven't done it yet.Book Review: I am the lizard king I can do anything

Summary: 3 Stars
However it is not better poetry as found on the AMERICAN PRAYER album. Jim's poetry is very abstract and the meaning of the poems are often associative and difficult to understand. It is interesting because these poems were written while Jim was in film school and released while he was still alive. I am disappointed that the original cover was changed where before there was a picture of him wearing a beard which had him more poetic looking.Book Review: I love Jim Morrison but this is too much...
Summary: 3 Stars
I can understand that people who are so into Morrison could read this and walk away feeling like they've been blessed and enlightened by the greatest poet they've ever read, BUT, c'mon. This stuff isn't really all that good. Bits and Fragments of thoughts abound, nothing really cohesive throughout. Jim talks alot about his views of cinema and society as some monster of its own free will. Fans should seriously check out Wilderness and American Night, as well as the American Prayer CD. All of which are much more understandable and, not to mention, enjoyable to have. Add this one to the collection though. It is Jimmy darnit. But, if you want real poetry, get the Doors illustrated lyrics book. Now THAT's some real good writin'!
