    Review quote
    "Eric Clapton's life story as read by laconic Bill Nighy makes for some fascinating listening" The Observer 20071016 "It would be difficult to imagine a better voice to read the life of Eric Clapton. Both seem to have been woven from the smae battered sixties thread, lived the lives they really know they shouldn't have-and somehow come out at the end wiser and cooler." The Times 20071016 "It's a raw and remarkable piece of self-exposure" Daily Telegraph 20071016 "Great for its 1960s atmosphere and music knowhow and contrite on the casualties of his alcohol and drug abuse, it ends with Clapton dry as a bone, adoring his four daughters and enjoying huntin', fishin' and shootin'. Bill Nighy's terse, low-key reading suits Clapton's authorial voice well." The Times
