I read this on the plane ride home. Kind of a fluffy read. Has anyone else read it, and what did you think? I liked it OK, but there were so many non sequiturs in telling her story. I have to admit I was looking for a little more with her story about being with George, and not in a juicy gossip sort of way, but it seems like she glossed over a lot.

Ha ha! Yeah, sorry for leaving out that detail. I came home later than I should have last night, was awakened earlier than I should have, and yet still wanted to post, no matter how short and incomplete it was.

"Wonderful Tonight" is the name of the wonderful song by Eric Clapton for his lovely wife, Patti. If you've never heard it, see if you can track it down online.

No, I know the song alright, even more, a musician from my country made a spanish cover; but I never hear about the book.

It came out in 2007, so it's a fairly recent release.

I thought this book was awful…
Very little insight into anything…
Clapton was just another mopey fool who couldn't handle success…
Patti Boyd wrote this as if we cared about her life.

… and the second best guitarist of all time, something you "conveniently" forget to mention.

Nobody has to state how good a guitarist Clapton was/is…
I only stated how he became a pathetic mope over a chick.

Good. Although his mopeyness did lead to one of his best songs, Layla, so not all bad.

Yeah, but it's good that people come out and write stuff about these guys that people seem to think are gods…
I was a bit surprised how pathetic Clapton had become. He seemed to have a good head on his shoulders. I'm sure he's recovered since.

He recovered in 1973, although he had a brief relapse into depression in 1991, after his son died. That was why George did his tour in Japan.

He did a great job in 'Concert for George.'

I finished reading this book yesterday – and I thought it was quite good. Unlike some, it seems, I actually was/am interested in her life so I liked it a lot. Do agree with StarWisher though, I thought maybe she could of said a little bit more about George and her marriage to him. Yet again, if I had married George, I don't think I would like to share the special moments that I'd had with him – even more so now that he's not with us. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I would definitely read it again in a year or two, I just wish it had been a little bit longer, that's all.

Well, her marriage to George only lasted for a decade, so I guess it wouldn't be expected to occupy a majority of the text. (On the other hand, what else has she done that's bookworthy aside from marry a couple of rock stars?)

Well she was a succesful model before meeting George. So she could of talked a little more about that, perhaps.

I suppose so. Personally, I think models are really uninteresting, but whatever…Still, she was the first Beatle wife to get her voice on an album, so that's pretty notable!

I found it enjoyable. Like most Beatle books, there are a few nuggets worth collecting (and you'll find them you-know-where).
I'm glad she came out with this book. For years I thought, "Well THIS is someone who's got a story to tell."
