Title: Terrible biography
Product review: I admit from the outset that I am a longtime Clapton fan. I have read just about every book and magazine article written about him over the last 30 years and have viewed many of the video bios about him. This book is by far the worst. It seems to me that the author had a negative bias from the beginning.Clapton is no saint and his past is what it is. Nevertheless, it appears that the author interviewed only those people who had a grudge or bone to pick. From the rather unflattering cover picture to his reviews of EC's work this biography is nothing more than an anti-Clapton diatribe. Even his compliments are backhanded. Sanford's claim that he "came to have a quite genuine and deep sympathy for [Clapton]" rings very hollow. He seems to have found every reason to trash the man and the majority of his work.Those interested in a balanced view should avoid this book.
