Linda kept a diary that´s why her memories and dialogs are so precise. I think she even mentiones how she writes in her diary when she´s with Jim in the book, while Jim wrote in his notebooks. Personally I don´t think her book is fiction. When a friend of Jim tells me that´s the way Jim was with her that´s good enough for me. As you said her recollectons are very percise and I believe it would be impossible to keep this up about 500 pages if it would be fiction, and everything falls into place. It´s one of the better books about Jim that shows how he really was OFFSTAGE, with people who were his friends. Another great book I can recommand to everyone is Frank Lisciandro´s book Jim Morrison:Friends Gathered Together, it´s the best book I read on Jim so far, away from the myths.
