Title: absolute ...
Product review: I can’t deny the fact that this book is anything less than what it claims to be—a biography—among countless others, a partial account of John Lennon’s life. Another important fact about this book is that it is an extremely careless attempt. David Stuart Ryan seems content in skimming over most events he recounts rather than attempting to discuss any of them in depth. So what’s the big secret according to Mr. Ryan? He offers nothing more than a pseudo-psychological, amateur, freudian analysis. Ryan claims that since John Lennon didn’t grow up in a “normal” family setting he was perpetually in search of an adept mother and father figure (Cynthia, Yoko and Brian Epstein served as candidates). On another note, if the zodiac’s your thing, you’ll love this book and will be drooling over descriptions such as “Cynthia’s virgoan faithfulness,” and John’s “hedonistic libran inclinations.” Enough already!
