Title: Dark Horse: The Life and Art of George Harrison
Review: I opened this book with idle curiosity about the subject and finished it (barely) with contempt for the research and writing. It reads as idle and sometimes nasty gossip. There are glaring inconsistencies, and clumsiness with dates, which, considering it's many reprints, is simply unforgivable. The book concludes with a catalogue of dates that shed extraordinary light on the writer's egotism and ludicrous attachment to the subject of the book. I am grateful to the author at least for curing my interest in biography. From now on I'll just stick to the music. To say the book does not do justice to this immensely talented musician is a gross understatement. I am embarrassed that I bought this book. I eventually threw it away - just couldn't bear to think that someone might pick it up at the second hand shop.
