Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain
Everyone's heard of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Even if you haven't listened to their music, you've likely seen the smiley face t-shirts that young people still wear today, more than thirty years after Kurt's passing. I'll begin this review by jumping straight into the drama.

Reception
[edit]While arguably the most complete Cobain biography, Cross opted to include his own impression of what Cobain's final days were like. Several people questioned the inclusion of fiction in what was claimed to be a non-fiction book.[3] At the same time, Cross' desire for the book to be as comple
