Just so so
This effort by Bonโs Wife Irene I found to be sub par, it lacks depth and a personality as well as a personal human touch one expects from someone that was close to the man. It was a bit hard for me to finish because I kept thinking that she really didnโt know Bon very well even though they were married, was very young when she married him and didnโt seem to possess the mature insight and perspective when looking back on her time with him. It was ok but be warned there really isnโt much insight into Bon I fact she was negative throughout the book and bitter even if she denies it thatโs just the feeling I got. It was written in a monotone way of just the facts and got the impression she held quite a bit back.

Have a laugh, learn a little more about Bon
I love this book! I met Bon once during the "Highway to Hell" tour and he protected me from getting trampled. I have always had a soft spot for him and guys with tattoos ever since then.He died so young and so few people knew him that have written about him. I grabbed this one off the shelf as soon as I saw it.Want a peek inside that smiling, devilish tour de force? It's not meant to be anything other than one person's perspective. Bon wouldn't want us to take him too seriously...

This book is NOT about Bon!
Sadly, this was a terrible book. This was more like an autobiography of the authors life. 70 percent of the book is about her life and not about Bon. There is NO information on his untimely death. She also seems bitter in tone throughout the stories she tells. Bummer for sure.

A personal view of Bon Scott from his ex-wife
I liked reading about a side of Bon I hadnโt heard before.

Essential reading for a fan of Bon-era AC/DC.
This book, together with Jesse Fink's "Last Highway" and Mark Evans' "Dirty Deeds" provides a great insight into the life of Bon Scott, AC/DC's late, great singer until his sad and untimely death.This book is his ex-wife's account of the period she knew him best, his time in Fraternity before he joined AC/DC and his early days in the band but also covers her correspondence with him right up to his death, they had remained friends.Her love and affection for Bon is clear, they clearly had a strong connection even after their marriage broke down.I recommend reading this as well as the Mark Evans book which details his experiences playing in AC/DC up to the Let There Be Rock album (1975-77) as well as Jesse Fink's well-researched book covering the period from 1978 up until Bon's tragic death in February 1980.

Hmm
I found this all a bit tedious ! If you are a massive completive ACDC fan then you will need to read it . Didnt float my boat , very shallow all the way through , with more padding than my settee ! I'm being generous with three stars

Nothing New.
I thought there might be a bit more information on Bon, that wasn't in the book "My Bon Scott"..Sadly, it's just the same book, almost word for word.
