Book Blab @ Stevenson H. S.

Review by Alec Berger

Wise period 2

In this autobiography Eric Clapton tells the story of his remarkable life. Clapton grew up in Ripley, Surrey in England as child. He got his first guitar at a the age of seven and taught himself how to play the intrument by listening to recordings of his early influences like Buddy Holly. During the 60’s he was in many different bands including Cream and Yardbirds, where he made countless hits. In the 70’s he had a very tough time of his life where he was addicted to heroine and then alcohol. He eventually overcame this addictions and continued his legendary career.

Eric Clapton captured every part of his life amazingly. There was not part in the book that I was bored with. It is one of those books that once you open it up you can’t put it down. Clapton is a true hero and legend and I recommend this book to any classic rock fan or any music fan because his music has influenced many current artists and young musicians .
