Interesting and informative, this book does not particularly favour McCartney, but provides what appears to be an honest account of his life. There are some parts that make familiar stories more understandable by filling in background details that were not generally known. Naturally, Lennon is more often mentioned than any of the other band members. The account of George Harrison's death was heartrending as was Linda's. Being of the same generation, I grew up with the Beatles and was surprised at how much of Carlin's information was new to me. On the other hand, the opinions I already held of the individuals: Paul, John, George, Ringo, and Yoko, changed not one iota. The book has a nice wrap-up that makes me want to consider a higher rating. Well done, very enjoyable. ( ) On the one hand this book tells you everything you need to know about Paul, but on the other it manages to say so very little, and it's not because the subject is boring. It's just the way this book is written. It's hard to explain. The part where people he cares about start dying around him was really gut-wrenching. Went to see RAIN last weekend, and it spurred my interest in the Beatles. Plus, the author is a local columnist. When I read about a famous person's early life, I like to see pictures and there aren't many. For instance.........his house in Liverpool, pictures of his brother and mom (there is one of him and his dad). I guess I'm a historian at heart. Am only on Chapter 3. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Takes a look at the whole life of the Beatles star, casting new light on his years with the band Wings and wife, Linda McCartney, and revealing a man as haunted by his legacy--and particularly his relationship with John Lennon--as he was inspired by it. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
