“Based upon true life events but not exactly non fiction.
This is a story of a disastrous attempt to cross the Sahara desert in a Morris Traveller.
Some lived to tell the tale from 1955. Either naive or stupid, you decide for yourself.

“Meeting this SAS war veteran meant I’d be foolish not to read up on him.
Even if you don’t like his writing ability you have to respect his heroic career. Insightful.

“Biog of his time in NYC and working for Vanity Fair.
Funny and interesting , as I got into the book I liked him more and more. Usually biographies have the opposite effect.

By the wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Pattie was a successful model (cover of Vogue) who has been in the thick of British music from the beginning of the swinging sixties.
The details are interesting but the writing not so good. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by her.
It seems everyone involved was heavily into drugs and booze…but they still managed to write some brilliant music, Layla and Wonderful Tonight were both about Pattie Boyd.
