Eric Clapton: The Autobiography (Paperback)

Eric Clapton has produced a gem of a rock memoir, in which he lays bare the painful roots of his music. Clapton speaks honestly and touchingly not only about the external course of his life but of what music has meant to him. That makes it much the best of this season's rock memoirs. Clapton delivers himself profoundly. It's extremely moving. * Evening Standard *
Clapton relates what happened with painful honesty. In other rock stars, such plump contentment might seem hypocritical, even vulgar. But with Eric Clapton, you feel that a little comfort is the least he deserves. * Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday (4 star review) *
This is an essential read * Observer *
It's a raw and remarkable piece of self-exposure * Daily Telegraph *
It is a pity more autobiograophers don't have Clapton's grounding in the blues. * Sunday Times *
