Title: Poorly written Beatles book
Review: I've read a ton of Beatles bios, and this is not one of the better ones. The author tries to make it an academic work, bogging down in minute details and completely losing the charm of the Beatles story. Quotes are added in places that were spoken long after the incident being recounted took place, which doesn't let the story stay in a time frame long enough to get a sense of being there. It just isn't well written. It's not worth space on any serious Beatle fan's shelf, unless you're just collecting all the books about them.
