The Last Stage Reviews

As someone who got to know Jim Morrison personally, I like what you're doing...Robert Gover, author of Two Brothers, The $100 Misunderstanding..

Jim Cherry has created an interesting and intriguing story, with equally interesting and intriguing characters. With rich details that make this book feel real at every level, the Last Stage doesn’t disappoint.Jessica @ ..A Book Lovers Diary..

The main character has a very complex character, and I was immediately drawn in to trying to figure out what made him tick. Was he just a devoted Morrison fan? Or did he have a self identity problem? Every scene that unfolded had me even more engrossed in trying to figure out what he was trying to accomplish. By the end of the story, this guy was in Los Angeles, getting ready to perform at Whisky a Go Go, carousing with aging rock stars and actors, interviewing agents and screenplay writers, reliving Jim Morrison's lifestyle, and exploring all his old haunts. I won't give away the ending, but it is very, very poignant and real. Kathy Reinhart

I was amazed by how Cherry brings forgotten child television star Jimmy Stark is brought into the thick of things. Cherry allures the reader's trust so that he is able to drop this coincidence onto their lap. It greatly enhances the book in light of what really happend to Jim Morrison who also experienced stardom early in life but saw it disipate with his legal and drug troubles. This is a fun book that reads fast- an eighties version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. JLizard
