Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.
This is exactly what it says it is! A collection of interviews, including the last one Cobain, gave.
I like to read documentaries and this kind of felt that way to me. I'm not a fan of his music but I wanted to catch a glimpse of the person inside.
Great book!

I grew up listening to Nirvana and was very intrigued by this book’s concept of basically recounting some of his later interviews, along with the last interview he ever gave. While many books would take this idea and then add in their own commentary, this solely focused on the interviews alone. Through them you were able to see the different sides of Kurt Cobain who was without a doubt someone who loved what he did and also had a fierce love for his family. The book had more of an autobiography feel simply because the words were mostly Kurt’s and not how someone else interpreted them. Would without a doubt recommend this book to anyone who was in the past or is currently a fan of Kurt Cobain and/or Nirvana. #KurtCobainTheLastInterview

This is exactly what it says, interviews with Kurt Cobain. It brought back a lot of memories from my youth. I wasn’t a huge fan, but always found him quite interesting. These really seem to show a side maybe a lot aren’t familiar with. We must remember these were his public persona though.

I've been enjoying the Last Interview series, so I was excited to read the book about Kurt Cobain. It was really meaningful and a peak at the legend. This really explored Cobain's words and helped to humanize him in a way, what I enjoy about this series is that we sometimes forget that these stars are people too. This was a great read and I'm glad I was able to read this.

This is exactly as it claims to be - a collection of interviews, including the last one given. The author does not add anything, apart from a brief “please excuse me” introduction to one of his earlier interviews which was, he acknowledges, pretty poor. The interviews all stand alone and that is what makes this book so appealing.

As a born and raised Seattle kid, Nirvana has been what I have known since birth. (Coincidently he formed the band in 1988, the year I was born). I know their music, I know the persona, and their history but all through the media’s eyes. I loved this book because it felt like a documentary that Kurt made himself. A look into his mind. I learned so much from this book and found it different than all other Nirvana movies or docs I’ve seen. I would recommend this to any fans that want to know the real Kurt, not what the headlines portrayed.

Thank you NetGalley and Melville House for the ARC!
