    Could Have Been So Much More
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023*

I never did "get" the thrill of Pattie Boyd. And I very much got the other iconic women of the era, Twiggie, Jean Shrimpton, Julie Christie, Maryanne Faithful, Brigette Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, later Jerry Hall, Linda Ronstadt and others.Even now, in pictures from back then I don't see it. She did have the perfect body style of the age: long skinny legs, long skinny arms, small narrow torso. Her face was nice but just ordinarily attractive. It's still a mystery why she was an international model. As George said she had an indefinable "Something", an X factor that doesn't come across on film and certainly doesn't come across in this book.The book is well-written but sterile. While she states her emotions, "I was blissfully happy", "I cried all the way to LA", there is almost no emotion in the writing.She doesn't say why George Harrison was the love of her life, or why she married him. Just that she was madly in love with him and never fell out of love, even when she was with Clapton. She doesn't even include the circumstances of their first kiss. I don't expect sexual details but the first kiss to Beatle George Harrison would seem significant.I don't get the feeling that she ever really loved Eric Clapton, his well-known obsession with her that lasted until he got her seems to have flattered her, but she remained somewhat detached. She was appalled by "Layla" thinking everyone would know who it was about and assume the worst.It was George's blatant affair, in the house that he and Pattie shared, with Maureen Starkey Ringo's wife, that finally sent her running into Eric's waiting arms.Where the same rock'n'roll chaos proceeded apace. The circumstances of his proposal to her were beyond absurd and yet she still said yes. At the reception he started a food fight with the wedding cake, showing just how serious he was about the event.She says marriage to a faithful husband would have been a joy. Okay then why marry Eric Clapton whose way with women was notorious in the late 70s. It's like Priscilla's wistful complaint, all she ever wanted was a normal married life. And so she married Elvis?And while marriage to George when they were both very young might have seemed reasonable in the mid-60s, by the mid-70s Pattie was no longer a babe in the woods. Eric was clearly not marriage material.She seems to have loved the rock life style of drinking, partying and drugs. Her biggest mistake was to quit modeling, no longer having a career of her own. Essentially to become a hanger-on, a party girl, even if she did have a ring in her finger.It's interesting that both men were madly in love with her and then lost interest in her in spectacular fashion. Cruel fashion.  If she was as superficial and self-absorbed in life as she is in this book, it's easy to see why.While she praises both men and expresses her love for them she was clearly hurt by the many infidelities they did little to hide. Why that should come as a shock to her is just naive on her part.And for their part why did rock musicians get married in that crazy time? So many did and then just acted like their wife was married but they weren't.Anyway I grew rather tired of the pointless drama and Clapton's odd behavior as he substituted Courvoisier and lemonade for heroine. In spite of detailed descriptions of crazy antics and moody withdrawals the reader never really gets to know George or Eric, or for that matter Pattie herself.Read through to their divorce and the tragic death of Eric's son Conor. I remember when that happened, it was awful. As Pattie says, what architect would design windows like that, so dangerous.After that I skimmed till the Epilogue. It really is just a narrative of events, no analysis, no physical description of any of the many people she mentions. No insight into anyone's motivations.At one point Clapton takes her to Israel, they go to the Dead Sea, he has some Ecstasy to try to reestablish their bond, which works, she goes back to him. But all she says of the experience is they sat on the shore and talked. Um, really? I can see being discreet but not to the point of boring.Clearly Eric Clapton was the major figure in her life, even George Harrison fades into the background as Clapton takes over the book. But she doesn't seem to have really known him or to have understood him. He was a complex larger than life character and sounds impossible to live with. If she learned anything at all about him she doesn't share it here.Once he disappears from the pages it's simply a middle aged woman's life in London.Pity. It could have been so much more.Unless really curious about a niche part of the 60s/70s I don't recommend this book.

    Great story
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023*

I loved this story and what you think you might envy in a person this shows there can be great prices to pay. I am very glad that Pattie found herself and learned to live for herself. A very good story.

    Mostly enjoyable, with very little ego
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2010*

Pattie Boyd was probably one of the most beautiful rock women during her 60s heyday.  She snagged a Beatle after only one meeting on a movie set, inspired Clapton to create the anthem "Layla" and was the avowed idol of many a young girl.  Yet her book, in contrast to some of the other "rock wife" and "rock groupie" books out there, is noticeably devoid of ego, or bitterness towards the famous men who let her down.  At times she comes off as almost self-effacing to the degree that you'd just like to tell her, "Pattie!  Wake up and realize you're awesome!"Even though I'd read many Beatles books in the past, I hadn't realized the degree to which Pattie was a cipher in those books.  (By contrast, some of them contain Yoko Ono's entire life history pre-Lennon.)  It turns out Pattie had a very interesting childhood, having been raised in a poor and somewhat dysfunctional family in Africa.  Eventually, pre-teen Pattie moves to England and starts a modeling career just as the Beatles are hitting the big time.  She meets George and has a fairy-tale romance ending in marriage.  Unfortunately, George ends up cheating on her - with Ringo's wife Maureen of all people (I had also never heard this story before).  When George isn't cheating he's distancing himself to concentrate on his meditation or inviting meditation groups to come live in his and Pattie's house.  Living with this type of stress, it's easy to see why Pattie eventually succumbed to the repeated and persistent advances of George's friend Eric Clapton, who claimed that her initial rejection of him led him into years of heroin addiction.After Pattie marries Eric, his addictions and erratic behaviors disturb any peace she might have hoped for.  This section of the book seems choppy and less complete than Pattie's recounting of her life with George, and you sense something else may be lurking below the surface of Eric and Pattie's troubled relationship.  (It is rumored that she left his worst excesses, such as physical abuse, out of the book.)  Eric seems not so much heartless as just not emotionally sensitive enough to have a decent relationship.  For example, he fathers children outside the marriage even though Pattie has desperately tried, and failed, to have a child of her own and she is devastated by it.  By the time the book gets to the end of the Pattie and Eric story, Pattie, for all her money and her exciting life, truly seems beaten down and victimized, emotionally if not also physically.  It's hard to read this book along with Clapton's recent biography where he seems much less affected by the entire breakup and unremorseful for his extramarital affairs.The end of the book has Pattie getting her life together with the help of her friends, achieving some measure of inner peace, and dealing with the death of George, to whom she still feels a loving bond.  By this point Pattie's life has become so rarified (jetting off to this and that exotic destination) that she seems removed from the mere mortals on earth, but her emotions still seem very human.The most interesting, fun and complete part of the book is the first half dealing with Pattie's early life, her modeling career and her marriage to George.  The Eric sections seem very sad by comparison (as well as choppy) and I found myself really wishing, as Pattie also seems to wish at times, that she and George had gotten back together, or never broken up.  My one major complaint with the book and its subject is that Pattie does seem very passive and at times like she has no life or motivation of her own - she just exists to bask in whatever love these powerful men might choose to dole out to her.  Perhaps this is due to her having an unhappy childhood and then marrying one of the biggest rock stars in the world at a very young age, but I do hope she's able to grow a little bit more of an assertive spine.
