Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: This "biography" makes one long for a true, objective biography such as the recently-released "Lennon" by Philip Norman.While there are some fun little stories sprinkled throughout the Chapters, so much of this comes across as bitter, revisionist and petty. McCartney seems obsessed with claiming songwriter percentages - nearly every song discussion includes the likes of "oh, this was 70% me and maybe 30% John." EVERY freaking song!Who cares?McCartney has often been portrayed as bossy, self-serving and, yes, petty. That this is the "authorized" biography sadly confirms those claims.This book isn't a complete waste of time - but almost.
Is the review positive or negative?
