Title: Doesn't Measure Up
Review: While I do agree with some of the author's insights, the book for the most part doesn't live up to his own stated goals in the introduction: to tell the "why" of The Beatles phenomenon as opposed to the "what". Mr. Stark definitely wastes far more paper on the latter rather than the former.After reading halfway through the book I am exhausted by the too many instances of over-indulgent and sloppy writing (Donovan's "Catch The Wind" a protest song?, "Anytime At All" is a dark and honest song?, "She's A Woman" displays rock's traditional attitude to women?, etc., etc.) and faulty fact-checking.I've said it before in my other reviews and I will keep saying it: the book publishing industry desparately needs more editors.
