No rating - how do you rate someone’s “private” journal?
I enjoyed the drafted letters he sent to friends and colleagues (shows a very complimentary and sweet man, when he liked you), the recipes and doodles here and there, lists of songs and bands that he enjoyed (the boy liked his lists) and lyrics.

Some of his longer writings, it just felt intrusive/invasive? reading and they are almost aggressive, repetitive, crude stream of consciousness. Some of them which I just skipped over. Based on some of these ramblings that I did read though, I don’t think he would have liked his journals being printed. 😐

Alisonbookreviewer I agree 💯. I think his wife Courtney had them published for the money. I remember when the book was released and it wasn’t popular because of that very thing. They were mostly private and personal notes and her career was taking a nose dive at the time. Kind of sad imo. Thanks for reviewing ❤️
