Summary: Why oh Why?
Review: Patricia and Tina talk about feeling the need to write the book so they could set the record straight about Michael for his beloved daughter Tiger.Fair enough..but why blacken the name of her mother Paula Yates who died two years ago? Why go on various chat show bitching about Paula when she was dead just a few weeks. (In 2000) Obviously they had issues with her but to dismiss her as a groupie figure is simplistic and untrue. She was a witty, warm vibrant woman who had a difficult background and fought to develop a sense of self worth. Michael was captivated by her and they fell in love end of story. To blame her for his demise is understandable as mother and daughter are obviously overcome by grief. By I can't understand what motivated them to write this personal account other than money. Set the record straight yes but be a bit more diplomatic when there are children involved. I feel sorry for them because I can't imagine that this is what Michael would have wanted. His father Kell and brother Rhett set up a website in his honour. ... It is a great tribute and in keeping with his spirit. I bought this book and it was an interesting read. A very biased account naturally but perception is everything. I think ultimately they will regret writing this...a personal account is all fine and well but they could have cut out some of the poison and venom. Paula is gone now and she has four lovely girls still in this world. Don't hurt them by continuing your accusations. May they both rest in peace. A sad and sorry tale for all involved including Patricia and Tina. I don't want to sound judgmental about them because I understand they are upset at the death of a loved one. However, I think they could have shown a little more sensitivity.
