Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller
For the first time, rock music’s most famous muse tells her incredible story
Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, finally breaks a forty-year silence and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. The woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking–and totally honest.

Summary: Magic explained.
Comment: I had heard tidbits about how Eric Clapton "stole" George Harrison's beautiful wife, Patti Boyd before, and I was curious about how that happened and...then what? Happily ever after? No, no. Patti gives us the whole story, a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of rock and roll musicians. The relationship interplays, the emotions, the disappointment over songs that don't "make it." The stories behind the creation of some unforgettable songs, and the personalities and friendships of the people we see only as public figures. After I read this book, I read "Clapton" and got a perspective from that side of the story. Fascinating and, well, "lovely." Well worth the read.

Summary: Wonderful Tonight:George Harrison, Eric Clapton & Me
Comment: A story well told. Patty Boyd has had quite a life and does a wonderful job sharing her story. I've always wondered what life with the Beatles was like and she gives great details. The rock n'roll lifestyle (life with Eric Clapton) may not be everyone's dream after-all. Her story was well told and left me wanting more. I enjoyed every moment I spent reading her book.

Summary: Wonderful tonight was wonderful
Comment: I really enjoyed this book about Pattie's life. It starts off with the background of her family which I always find fascinating. She didn't have the greatest childhood, but she sure made up for it as an adult! Thanks to this book,when I hear George Harrison and Eric Clapton songs, I think of the background stories she told about some of these songs. Great insight on what it was like to be up-close and personal with two talented musicians and their friends and family.

Summary: Rock's Most Famous Muse
Comment: 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!
