Wonderland Avenue is a personal memoir written by the late Danny Sugerman. It starts off with him as a juvenile trouble maker living in the prosperous streets of Beverly Hills. Sugerman had a passion for music and landed his first job at 12 years old opening fan mail for The Doors. Through this blossomed a very close friendship between himself and the lizard king, Jim Morrison. Sugerman became The Doors' protege and though it sounded perfect, it lead to a thrilling but lethal world of drugs, sex, groupies, and an expensive heroin addiction. Sugerman went on to work with Ray Manzarek and Iggy Pop. The book does an amazing job at painting a picture of the seventies and the american poet.
