• Eric's 'True Confessions'
  Many Clapton fans were really disappointed in this book because they (me, included) discovered their hero was not the good guy they assumed he was. It is shocking, indeed, to read page-after-page of Clapton describing his shallowness, selfishness and excesses regarding woman, alcohol and drugs.

• A shallow and self centered autobiography by an alcoholic and drug addict. Don't read it please.
  I was so disappointed with this book that I got it from my sister, a fan, who said she had to stop reading it before she got half way through. I read it and was so disappointed.

• For Musicians...
  For anyone who has ever lived the life of a musician - this book will speak to your soul. The journey to artistry is a long one & it's always good to hear from those who have made it through alive. Excellent book.
