Riders on the Storm is an autobiography written by, the drummer of the Doors, John Densmore. This autobiography goes in depth of John's life as a jazz loving teen catholic schoolboy through present times. The main focus on the book is the years of the Doors, and odd life of Jim Morrison in particular. John's descriptive writings on the controversial rock band makes it an interesting read for any Doors fan. John puts a lot of emphasis in his writing about his personal life, He wrote a quite a bit about his struggle to maintain a relationship with his schizophrenic brother and with women in general. John wrote quite a bit more about the love-Do Not Like relationship between the self-destructive Jim Morrison and all the troubles with keeping the band together. Densmore's crafty writing style uses some of Morrison's lyrics to portrait him as a tragedy rather than a worshipped idol as many put him out to be. Riders on the Storm is a great book, those who like happy endings should stray far from this book.
