Clapton: The Autobiography Audiobook

" Did not get through the first CD with out some rough content, three "f" words, and some other language. "

" early years as a guitar god in the UK and the amazing interaction with so many huge names in the music industry was so cool, also some degree of honesty with his addictions and love affairs interesting stuff "

" A real look at Clapton's life exposing his strengths and weaknesses "

" I thought this was a great autobiography. I always knew Clapton had hard times in his life but reading his autobiography made me realize how many obstacles he has overcome since his childhood. Its amazing how such a tortured soul can survive and overcome life's hardships and still come out a good person. I really liked this book and admire Eric Clapton for his ability to be honest and open about his life so that he may help others. "

" It was ok. Clapton certainly has an interesting story to tell about his own career and the many other rock stars he's crossed paths with. "

" While rambling at times, this autobiography took the reader deep into the musical and personal life of one of rock's greatest musicians. I loved learning of his musical roots and his personal struggles. I would suggest this to any fan! "

" I had a better opinion of Clapton before I read this. "

" I have to say that I really enjoyed this book, and I think that this is the first autobiography that I have ever read. I have always been a fan of Clapton but after reading his book I really respect him. "

" Candid, well spoken, and gentlemanly as I would expect from Clapton. He was quite a mess, but a hot mess :) Fortunately, he lived to realize the good life in recovery and his music still makes the heart pitter-patter. "

" This is a book for Eric Clapton lovers...Too many names to keep track of if you aren't totally into the book. "

" I don't love all of Eric Clapton's music, but there is a couple of his albums and songs that are some of my favorites. I would have liked it to touch more on the George Harrison and Patty Boyd triangle. "

" Interesting story. I'm not sure he remembers a lot of his own story, and the language is strangely devoid of emotion despite the emotional subject matter. "

" If you are a huge Clapton fan and want to know more about his life and the stories behind songs like Tears in Heaven (the death of his 5 year old son) then read this book. If not it probably won't interest you "

" Never like Clapton much. After reading this, I like him less. "

" I think Clapton shouldn't be allowed to write his own book. It was interesting, but rambling. I guess it was like sitting down with him and listening to him tell it. However, since he wasn't in the room and I couldn't actually hear him, it was just disjointed. No pun intended. "

" Very honest, interesting account of the life of a rock star from the sixties until today. "

" clapton seems to be very self-depricating about his guitar accomplishments, but maybe it's because he was strung out for most of the '60s, '70s and part of the '80s. "

" Not bad! I didn't know much about him before this. I'm not really a fan, I just heard this was a good read. It was a pretty nutty ride--a totally rock 'n roll life. "

" This is my first rock and roll biography .Interesting so far Well having finished it sorry it did not impress .Probably me not the book "

" If you are a huge Eric Clapton fan don't read this. Your fantasies about him are way more impressive than the real thing. If you are a huge fan of pure, old-school blues then you will find the pages and pages of musicans and how they play interesting. "

" I love biographies and, as a hack guitarist, I looked forward to this one. While it kept me well entertained on a long flight, it became a bit monotonous as Clapton recounted the same patterns of destructive behavior over and over. "

" Eric, forever my favorite guitarist, but not so much my favorite person after this read. He is honest, which is what you want from a bio, so I appreciated that much. But...I like him a lot less. "

" decent read of a decent guy who was pretty messed up for a long time. a chummy style like the two of you were having coffee. gets a bit repetitious. "

" The story of Clapton by EC himself. Great insight on what made him the rock star we all know. "

" Honest and revealing into the life of clapton and his struggle with and recovery from drugs n alcohol. Great read into life of celebrity as humbly written as I have read about a celebrity to date. "

" I'm still really curious to know how in the world he did not kill himself. "

" Amazing story. A wonder (as my dad says) that the man survived himself. His writing is practically as good as his guitar playing. I felt like I really got to know "Clapton is god" through this book. Amazing what this man has accomplished and survived and overcome. Excellent read. "

" This guy was a real ass.<br/>Fascinating to read, however. "

" This is the best musician autobiography I have read, and possibly simply the best autobiography. The style is candid, yet written with such wonderful (and decidedly British) diction and restraint that it had the feel of a good book. "

" Interesting autobiography of an interesting character. What a roller coaster life he had. I like Eric even more now. "

" Clapton lived an interesting life - and even remembers some of it. Loved reading about the different famous characters from rock music and learning how he became a star "

" It was ok. Clapton certainly has an interesting story to tell about his own career and the many other rock stars he's crossed paths with. "

" I don't love all of Eric Clapton's music, but there is a couple of his albums and songs that are some of my favorites. I would have liked it to touch more on the George Harrison and Patty Boyd triangle. "

" Always loved the music and heard the stories swirling around about the events surrounding it. Really enjoyed reading Clapton's take on his life from top to bottom--not surprising that he can write well. I found this book hard to put down. "
