Recenzje

The Collected Works of Jim Morrison is a revelation for fans, particularly those eager to look beyond the Lizard King Lothario persona. - People

As thought-provoking as it is provocative and, beyond the priapic bluster, Morrison is elegiac, too. - inews.co.uk

Morrison wrote that 'we had a great visitation of energy,' proclaimed that 'the ancient ones' time has come again,' urged readers to 'enter again the sweet forest/enter the hot dream.' While he deliberately drove down toad-squirmy backroads of primal terror, ecstasy was often naked in the shotgun seat, spinning jeweled pinwheels, peeling a peach. - Tom Robbins, from the foreword, "Fireflies of the Apocalypse"
