Book Reviews of Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me
Book Review: Interesting Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that this book was very interesting. I especially found it interesting that even though she did not stay married to him, she, until the day he died, always loved George Harrison.Book Review: a good book, Not a GREAT book
Summary: 3 Stars
I was so excited to read this book. I have always been so interested to learn about her life. It was a good book like I said, worth the read. But in no ways a GREAT book.
I have been a huge Eric Clapton fan for years and in this book he came across like a total peice of work. I wasnt clear on why she would ever leave George for him? Ya he wrote her some sweet poetic letters and wrote songs for her but other then that he seems like a constant nightmare. I did enjoy reading the book just felt like something was missing.
Book Review: A bit confusing
Summary: 3 Stars
HUGE fan of George Harrison my whole life, so I was dying to read from this woman's point of view. It was interesting to read (especially about Eric Clapton--I always pictured him as such a saint), but it was very confusing most of the time. She rarely put dates in here, a lot of events were way out of order (it's 1974, no wait, we're back in '68), and I still couldn't help but feel she was/is a bit spoiled? I don't want to hear her complain about how broke she was and how little they each gave her (she gave up modeling pretty early so had no job of her own) and then hear about her travels all over the exotic locations of the world? But again, interesting to hear things from her perspective...Book Review: Muse - Don't Flatter Yourself
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is terrible. I thought this book would be a little more detailed about the private life's of Eric and George and their music. Instead, it reads like a chronology of events with all relevant sections deleted. These musicians played poker with little girls' life's and, when they grew tired of the flavor of the month, they switched off. Pattie and her friends were objects that were passed around and when everyone was done, they were replaced by the next round of young beautiful girls. Why would you marry a man that sends his best friend to ask you??? I feel sorry for Pattie Boyd. I believe she thinks she was really loved and that all of the songs she quotes in her book were about her. Eric Clapton seems to need the youngest and the prettiest, Pattie just happened to be there when he was ready to switch. I do not think her life was glamorous at all, I think it was empty and sad. Pattie's life was spent with some incredible people but, there was no soul connection with any of them. It was all surface and show. Pattie never knew the heart of either of these men, she was an object and that is all she was. This book is poorly written and lacks any depth, character, or substance and is proof that Ms. Boyd did not know the depth of these men. Don't waste your time.Book Review: Oh Dear...
Summary: 4 Stars
Poor girl.
The words 'door' and 'mat' spring to mind.
That's all I have to say.
