| | | I liked reading the book she wrote about Courtney Love. I'm sure it was full of shit, but I had a lot of fun reading it. I think she's one of those "easy" writers, and that she writes the kind of books that are made to be a release from reality--not books that are meant to be really serious and scholarly. |

| | | yeah I liked the courtney bio too
alot of people have said it's full of lies, but, come on we dont have much to compare ti to do we? courtney doesnt even seem to know her own life story, it's constantly changing whenever she finds a new word
eg, this year 'dickensian' |

| | | Courtney is full of lies...so it would make sense that any story about her that is informed by her mouth is full of lies. |

| | | Yeah, it probably should've been called, "Courtney Love: The Real Story According to Courtney Love." That would've been more appropriate. |

| | | I like all her books, they're really good. Swamp Feotus/Wormwood, a collection of short stories, is a particular favourite of mine from the horror days. With her newer, non-horror writing (the Liquor series) I really, really love The Value of X. And of course the Courtney bio is a must read.
I fkn love Poppy, she's excellent.

| | | Like a lot of you I've only ever read the Courtney bio. Even if that book was full of lies it was still well written. I think she's great. |
