Description

lsquo;The last thing I want is all these total strangers; who live literally inches away from me; knowing every last detail of my life.When a young woman buys her first flat it seems that all her dreams are coming true.

Only then do the neighbours realise they dont know as much about each other as they thought they did.A vertical thriller for a time when a stranger is only one wall away.

Love This Book!By Melanie ObremskiI just finished reading Judy Huddlestons book on her life in the 60s and 70s and her tumultuous love affair with Jim Morrison. Sometimes so vivid and real its painful to read. She obviously loved him very much. She paints a real picture of a man whos demons are well known but his good traits by and large have been long forgotten. It wasfascinating to learn of her struggle for her own identity in an era where womens identitys were still largely based on looks. Kudos to Judy for her realistic portrayal of this time period and of a man many still idolize-whether thats right or wrong she doesnt judge.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Thanks again Judy!By Elonna MarieOver a decade ago I read Judys first book on Jim; "This is the End...". Judys manuscript was used by Oliver Stone and Val Kilmer; prior to being published. Val respected Judys opinion and clearly regarded her as honest; most likely because she didnt give a fairy-tale account of her time with Jim; or portray herself as anything other than Jims "go-to girl" (nowadays; we say "booty-call")."Love Him Madly" is an updated version; better written; minus any mention of her participation in the Doors film (too bad; since I enjoyed reading about her experience with Stone and Kilmer). Both books take you inside the mind of an LSD-addled teenager who hero-worshiped Jim Morrison. 99% of the time Judy would run to Jim when he called (going to some ridiculous lengths!); and always let him in when he came knocking. The book is brutally honest; no sugar-coating whatsoever. Judy makes no bones about her desperate behavior in pursuing Jim; some abuse that followed; and her willingness to continue seeing him over a four year period. The book is sometimes funny; usually depressing; and always believable. Hind-site is 20/20; and Judy has that in spades; occasionally poking fun at her teenage self. The book does focus on the authors and Jims dark sides more often than not. But; thankfully; Judy also witnessed Jims playful side.I always wondered what happened to Judy. Im glad her journey lead to her teaching at Uni; and not back in the mental hospital!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Interesting Inside Look at the Intimate Life if Jim MorrisonBy Sherry EllisJudy Huddleston was a teenager in 1967 when she met Doors singer; Jim Morrison. As a groupie; she idolized the rock star and ended up crossing the line; having an intimate sexual relationship with him. The relationship lasted four years; and was a downward spiral into the world of drugs; alcohol; and sex addiction. Love Him Madly is the memoir written from Ms. Huddlestons diary. While it jumps around on the time line from Ms. Huddlestons stay in a mental hospital and her experiences with Jim; it paints a vivid picture of what life was like with the troubled singer as well as the emotional conflict she experienced from being in a co-dependent relationship.Doors fans and those curious about what a relationship with an iconic rock star might be like would enjoy reading this book.
