The Real T: My 22 Years with Tina Turner Hardcover – May 1, 1998

i really enjoyed reading the book i am truly a real Tina Turner fan i learned some things about her i had never heard before. i want to know everything i can about her.THANK-YOU

This was a great read. It seemed real, but really, only the two of them know the truth.

I liked this book ultimately. You get a different picture of the woman as well as the rock star she became. I don’t find it a gossip book rather this mans experience working with one of the greatest entertainers around. I’m an enormous fan of Ms Turner. This book gave some insight into what it took for her to get where she left off! I’m encouraged by her tenacity and vision for herself. God I hope to meet her one day! Cheers.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT TINA. THE AUTHOR TO ME SEEMS QUESTIONABLE ABOUT A FEW THINGS, BUT A GREAT READ FOR ANY TINA FAN.

The book was good,but the book cost too much

Fun to read even though many things are probably exagerated. But it's a good read for fans to realise that Tina Turner is just a human being as all of us with her flaws and with her merits and not the saint she is always portraied at in the Media.

Eddy Hampton Armani goes on and on in this book about himself, how great he is... how busy and talented. I am thinking it was written for the money as well as for revenge for his bruised ego. He gets SO many basic facts and dates wrong, as well. That alone shows where the true motivation was, this book could have easily have been fact-checked, but he was looking for a quick paycheck.

This book is really interesting if you are a fan of Tina's (especially if you have read "I, Tina" or Ike Turner's "Takin' Back My Name"). What makes this book such a fun read is that it is written by someone who was with Tina from her days with Ike in the 70's, through the hard times after her split with him, and then right on up until she was about to become the superstar we know today - in many ways the most pivotol days of her career.The book is surprising in that it talks less of the records Tina was releasing over these years than it does of her lovers, her moods, her friends and her relationship with her family.The author met Tina when began a fan club for Ike & Tina in the 60's and throughout the years cultivated a friendship and business relationship with her as her personal assistant. He portrays a Tina we have only caught glimpses of before - Tina the shopper, Tina the perfectionist, Tina the party girl - but throughout it all always also shows a woman whose feet were on the ground and loyalties were strong.One could argue that because Eddy Armani is such an admirerer of Tina's that the tone of the book paints her in the most flattering light - but it is still a juicy read chock full o' celebrities, scandal, sex and all of the trappings the you'd expect of a rock n' roll legend.I found this book really enjoyable.
