Book Reviews of Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me
Book Review: Rock's Most Famous Muse
Summary: 4 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a fascinating read, having grown up in the 60's, I could relate to everything and everyone she talked about in the book. She was the 60's "It" Girl. She had "The Look" and everyone wanted to be like her. She had an incredible life. Even her sisters went out with or were married to famous Rock stars. The thing that I really empathized with her about was that she realized too late that George was really the love of her life. There was always a bond between them until the day he died. He even tried to help her out financially after they were divorced. I also could understand the emotional devastation she must have felt when she could not have children and Eric comes home and tell her his Mistress is having a baby and asks her to help raise him. She lived for these two men and totally lost her identity wondering what she would do with her life after her divorce from Clapton, who she says "was hell to live with." He pursued her and once he got her, took her for granted. I get the impression that she is a very classy, honorable woman. She is also a fabulous Photograher. Enjoy the book!Book Review: superfrog

I can relate to this book as a wife of a musican. I see how Pattie made the most of bad situations. We do what we are so supposed to to do.
except that indescresitions happen. I love her stretgh. I relate to this on so many levels.
Book Review: Honest, brave and fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge Beatles fan, so I got the book to read about Pattie and George (and was not disappointed on that front). But the rest of the book is really insightful, interesting and really represents Pattie's personal journey more than being gossipy or slandering anyone.Book Review: "Wonderful Tonight" is absolutely wonderful!

Summary: 1 Stars
While she without doubt had an interesting life, Patti Boyd' s tale may not really need to have been told. While she was married to George Harrisona nd Clapton, and she clearly inspired Layla (and was very pretty) she really comes over as she writes herself at one point (as does another reviewer) as a door mat. Ths 2 stars also come over as extremely self-centered people who used her (Harrison comes over better). Clapton is a cheating drunk who she manages constantly to find excuses for...oh boy...I bought this because I was on vacation and wanted to read it but I should have gotten the paperback instead...it would have been cheaper
