"Wonderful Tonight" is absolutely wonderful!

I absolutely loved this book. I think it was written with very honest voice and truly enjoyed every page. I will probably read it again! Well done!

Honest, brave and fascinating

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.

Rock's Most Famous Muse

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!

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.

An iconic figure of the 1960s and ?70s, Pattie Boyd breaks a forty-year silence in Wonderful Tonight, 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 famous muse in the history of rock and roll.

She met the Beatles in 1964 when she was cast as a schoolgirl in A Hard Day?s Night. Ten days later a smitten George Harrison proposed. For twenty-year-old Pattie Boyd, it was the beginning of an unimaginably rich and complex life as she was welcomed into the Beatles inner circle?a circle that included Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Jeff Beck, and a veritable who?s who of rock musicians. She describes the dynamics of the group, the friendships, the tensions, the musicmaking, and the weird and wonderful memories she has of Paul and Linda, Cynthia and John, Ringo and Maureen, and especially the years with her husband, George.

It was a sweet, turbulent life, but one that would take an unexpected turn, starting with a simple note that began ?dearest l.?

I read it quickly and assumed that it was from some weirdo; I did get fan mail from time to time.... I thought no more about it until that evening when the phone rang. It was Eric [Clapton]. ?Did you get my letter??... And then the penny dropped. ?Was that from you?? I said....It was the most passionate letter anyone had ever written me.

For the first time Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, a high-profile model whose face epitomized the swinging London scene of the 1960s, a woman who inspired Harrison?s song ?Something? and Clapton?s anthem ?Layla,? has decided to write a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking?and totally honest and open and breathtaking. Here is the truth, here is what happened, here is the story you?ve been waiting for.
