Avoid This - It's Rubbish
Looks good but it's rubbish. Failed to run for more than a couple of hours at a time. I'm writing this off and putting it down yo experience. Avoid this.

Not always a comfortable read
This isn’t just a hagiography of a great musician, nor is it just a blow by blow account of a career. Paul Scott tries to paint a portrait of the man. A highly flawed man. His drug addiction would surely have killed him and in his drinking days Eric Clapton was capable of doing some very cruel things, very often to the people he was supposed to be closest to. He seemed to display an appetite for self-destruction whether by drugs or by alcohol.
As you might expect the book is drawn from a number of sources both published (books, magazines) and new interviews. The only problem is that a number of these interviews are with people who might be considered to be the victims of Clapton’s actions and therefore you may be tempted to not always take what they say totally at face value. I may be wrong in thinking this, but only the interviewees know the truth of the matter.
I would suggest that this book should not be read in isolation and that it would be a good idea to also read one of the other biographies available (such as Coleman or Schumacher). You may also wish to read Clapton’s autobiography. Each has something to add to the overall picture.
Other reviewers have said that the last few years have been skipped over by the author but of course this ignores the fact that there has been very little controversy or conflict in those years. Many years sober, happily married and with supportive teenage daughters, Clapton’s life is settled and organised in a way it has never been before.
In conclusion: a really good but sometimes uncomfortable read for fans, which will add greatly to your understanding of a man who is lucky to still be alive.
