I think you'll get a very thorough rundown of all opinions in this thread.

I disliked the book. I was, at one point, absolutely ready to throw the book out the window, hoping it would be run over by a car and torn to shreds by the street sweeping machine...and then burned.
That was basically over the story of Carol Ann running through the streets barefoot, feet bleeding, trying to get Lindsey medical help instead of...oh, using a phone? She came off, to me, as foolish and self-aggrandizing. I did, however, believe some of the stories had basic grains of truth to them and came to the conclusion that I wouldn't have liked any of them, at that point, as people. Not that they would give a rat's ass then or now. But, I also came away from the experience feeling the same way as I have, a few times, over particularly nasty Ledgie fights. You build someone up, in your mind, as great artists, people who mean something to you, etc. And it's very difficult when someone tries to tear them apart. Even if they feel they are doing so as some great big public service. Yes, people are human and have all kinds of nasty little things in their closets but...I'm just too idealistic for the "whole truth." Whether the truth is 100% real or 50% manufactured in a fried brain. And the thing is...if she wanted to either take Lindsey down or gain great fame by this book, I think she failed for one simple reason: the way it was written. If she had presented it in a more balanced way and been slightly less melodramatic and more matter of fact, I think she probably would have succeeded on both counts. |

Oh I thought you meant the song (one of the best Stevie's song!!!)
Carol's book has lot of interesting, curious stories, like the night at Eric Clapton's home. But to me it's more like a collection of episodes, and almost gossip. I never "got hooked" to the book, actually never finished reading it. Mick Fleetwood's book is far better, looks more authentic (though I know many people questioned it) and very good written. I've read it lot of times, the first time I read it continously for several hours until I fell asleep (actually i bought it in Europe so I started to read it during the 15 hours flight)

I take it that person is mouthing "Money, money, money"?
I can't imagine she made much dough from it. After all, it sold pretty much nothing... wasn't even available in most stores (I had to get mine off Amazon). But I could be wrong... maybe she got a decent advance. My understanding of advances are that they're pretty darn meager for most authors tho, especially unproven first time ones. But maybe she's just like Elvira: "Sure, I'll do it for 50 bucks!"

Storms
I'd like to know if anyone has read the book Storms about Lindsey and his ex-girlfriend Carel Harris. I just read it & thought it was so interesting.

I have to say that Storms is 1 of the best books I've ever read.The only reason I found it was because I was searching on Amazon's Kindle.

I started reading this book last summer and have yet to finish it. I only read it when I'm waiting for the car to be fixed(which is rare) or relaxing in the park(which is rare) or relaxing at the beach(which is rare) or relaxing at all(which is rare).LOL
When I finish it I have been instructed to send it off to tilthefirefades and I promise I will. I just need to finish it first. I have less than 100 pages to go. I just read the part where Lindsey asked Mick Jagger if he wanted to s@#k Tom Petty's d&%k. |
