Val gal fan

Wow! Valeri B. really blew me away. I had no idea what a "bad" girl she was!I guess that makes her human and just like one of us. I was a fan back in the day and more of a fan now!! A lot of women will be able to relate.

AND THE BOOK WILL ROCK!

I have Dear friends on AMAZON that just pretty much do book reviews
so I thought I'd do one as well. Working graveyard this week(Blackshere
my brother I don't know how you do it) I'd sometimes look around for
something to read during my lunch. I saw this book and said why not
I always found Valerie attractive but that was not why I picked this
book up. I knew she had been married to the great guitar player
Eddie Van Halen and I wanted to read of their meeting up and all
the DIRT!!! Well you get that and more from Val's up bringing
to her career on ONE DAY AT A TIME to her doing drugs at a YOUNG AGE??
?????? Her brief relationships with STEVEN SPIELBERG and MARK HAMIL
to her getting together with Eddie Van Halen. It of course does
talk a lot of her battle with weight(Hey when you reach that famous 40
it is going to happen!) This is a very good book that I found myself
reading all the way through. If you are a VAN HALEN fan this is a
MUST!!! She talks in full detail of the ups and downs of her marriage
the cocaine-guitar playing for weeks without seeing him-and the other
woman(uh oh) She also talks of her and Eddie son Wolfgang her brother
in law Alex and of course David Lee Roth. I really recommend this
book and don't worry Van Halen lovers she does tell it like it is
but her and Eddie are still friends and she points out in the book
she was no angel either...And guy's NO SHE IS NOT!!! On her side
besides doing COKE at age seventeen??? She had a sexual relationship
with.....ANOTHER WOMAN!!!!(i could not believe it either,not that
that is bad mind you it's just can't picture her doing that or Coke
for that matter) Anyway buy this book now!
p.s. I forgot to tell you every chapter is a title from a VAN HALEN song
which is cool for the first 10 chapters are nice titles than the last
six are...Well like one is WHERE HAD ALL THE GOODTIMES GONE another
is SLEEPING WITH THE DEVIL

Very interesting story!

Although I've never been a Van Halen fan, I've always liked Valerie since her One Day at a Time days. She's led an interesting life! The book is very well written, and held my attention. I felt bad for her with some of her experiences with Eddie - just goes to show that love does not conquer all. Kudos to both of them, however, for how Wolfie has turned out.

Fun reading!

She's so damn cool...this book was so fun to read. Completely like catching up with an old friend.

I think it's mostly about the fact that we all struggle with the same mental issues even if those issues come from different sources. EVERYONE wants to be liked. I felt the best part was the last two chapters. For me, it confirms that self-impovement (in whatever form) can only come with confronting those mental issues and conquering them.

Valerie, THANK YOU for being so candid - I've lost 6 pounds since I finished the book 10 days ago

GREAT BOOK!
