Summary: Super Great
Review: "Nirvana: The Chosen Rejects" is a great book for all Nirvana fans!It is very no nonsense, has great attention to detail and reads very easily. The authors had interviewed all the band members, so they were dealing with first hand information and not just researching previously written material. Which means, you aren't reading the same old information. Most of all, "Nirvana: The Chosen Rejects" has the most amazing discography and a listing of all Nirvana's songs. This is the most comprehensive listing I have ever seen! Buy this book for the discography/song listing alone and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Its about time!!
Review: A really awesome book. Talks about the whole band and not just Kurt. As a die hard, skeptical fan of Nirvana, I am sick and tired of reading about Kurt's drug habit and Courtney Love whenever someone wrote something about Nirvana. This is the first book I've seen that talks about the band, how they got started, how they grew together, how they wrote their songs together. What's really cool is that the story is told by Kurt and Krist and Dave - lots of quotes, I like that. The color pictures are way cool (never seen that in a Nirvana book before) and all the songs listed in the back answers a lot of questions for me! If you bought Nevermind you should by this book. It really does put the whole Nirvana story together in the order that it happened. The guys who wrote it sound like real fans, and not somebody just trying to make a buck. A special thanks to them for not going on and on about Courtney Love and giving their opinions about what killed Kurt. Yes, I highly recommend you by this book. Thanks

Summary: A must for Nirvana fans
Review: Combining the affection of fans and the access of insiders, Thomas and Smith have delivered an essential addition to the Nirvana library. "The Chosen Rejects" is the next best thing to a month in the tour van.

Review: Finally a book about Nirvana the band and not just Kurt Cobain's drug habit. I thought the part with all of the songs listed and the sources was incredible. Great color photos. This book is totally worth it.

Hail Kurt St. Thomas. Hail Troy smith. And hail Nirvana!

Summary: Attention to detail
Review: Got an early copy of this and found it to be very good. There is excellent attention to detail and rather than being another book about "the drama" it sticks to facts and figures, including a comprehensive list of stuff at the end of the book that i've never seen anywhere before. It seems objective and doesn't really try to paint a picture of what the author wants the story to be, which i've found other Nirvana books to be like.

Summary: Kurt St. Thomas+CAYA=plagiarism
Review: Kurt St. Thomas sure likes to throw around how legitimate he supposedly is. He loves pointing out that he interviewed Nirvana for "Nevermind, It's an Interview". He even included a photo of him and the band as the first thing we see when we open the book. And for someone so concerned with credibility, you'd figure Kurt St. Thomas could write his own material. After all, he spent all that time with the band... right? Apparently not, because he actually uses Michael Azerrad's material from Come As You Are. I've read CAYA, Heavier Than Heaven, and Journals, and by the time I got to the end of chapter two of Chosen Rejects, I knew Kurt St. Thomas was going to continue taking entire passages from Azerrad's book. Sure enough, that's all Chosen Rejects "offers"; Michael Azerrad's passages chewed up and spit out by Kurt St. Thomas, sometimes word-for-word.
