I probably wouldn't have read this book, but after the TV series "George and Tammy" (NOT recommended) and finding this for a dollar, I decided to give it a try. The writing by the ghost writer is fine. The story, well depends on what part. The first half of the book was pretty good, although there was a stretch where George did a lot of complaing about Tammy's book. Then came wild wild stuff that some was believable and a lot was not. At the end of the book, a chapter was added to the paperback edition, this last chapter contained mostly bitching about the state of country radio. ( )

Jones is the greatest country singer ever. However, as a man, he is a big disappointment. What a wasted life spent in a haze of alcohol and drugs – but he had an excuse – he was lonely, he felt inadequate. How many others of us are lonely and feel inadequate but we don’t destroy ourselves. I really got tired of the excuses. And I was extremely disappointed to hear he physically abused his wives. His last wife had to be a saint to put up with what she did. I think her story would be more interesting. Like others, I would prefer to forget this story and concentrate on the music instead. ( )
