Negative Positive
Title: If the picture captions are this badly fact-checked, what about the book itself?
Review: The first Beatle bio I read wasThe Love You Make: An Insider's Story of the Beatles, an admittedly subjective but warts-and-all portrayal of the boys written by an insider that opened my then-11-year-old eyes. No doubt some facts were forgotten or fudged, given the writer's relying on mostly his own recollections. At least he was there! I would still recommend that well-written and juicy book, or the excellentA Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatlesover the joke that is The Beatles: A Biography. I think it was the caption that had John holding Julian (a child plainly not) on the Beatles first trip to D.C. that had me howling the loudest. Oh my goodness, if the fact-checkers missed doozies like this, why waste time reading the book itself?
