The responses in this thread are, by and large, extremely hostile to Ms Harris. Maybe she really did have a bad time at the hands of LB - who are we to argue otherwise, since we weren't there? The sarcastic response by SortaSavageLike was repugnant - shame on you for trivializing domestic abuse (or alleged abuse in this case).
I'll probably read this book, because at least it presents another side to FM and LB. I'm not saying the revelations in the book are true, but then you can't be sure about the truth of any biography. Let the woman have her limelight - she's waited long enough to tell her story.

agreed. i don't want to think lb was ever abusive to any woman ever but he's not a deity. he's a musical genius but he's still a person & if he had or has issues, so be it. it doesn't take away from why i love him in the first place. she has the right to write a book & if it's somehow cathartic for her or helps her achieve closure, why all the hatred? it's as simple as not reading it. and i for one do take offense at trivializing abuse.
