Product Description
Review
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Worth the attention of anyone who fears for the impoverishment of the English language and the British imagination.”
—The Times Literary Supplement
“[Features] a wit and love of words that recall[s] Joyce and fanciful drawings some compare to Thurber.”
—Hartford Courant (Connecticut)
“A quirky, funny collection of stories, poems and drawings.”
—The New York Times
“Lunatic humor. . . Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque and spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter.”
—The Guardian
“Fascinating. . . It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks like a sick mule.”
—The Sunday Times
“Bewitching.”
—USA Today
“Lennon's marvelously clever In His Own Write was the surprise literary sensation of 1964....you get Lennon's biting humor and brilliant puns: Lewis Carroll as rock star.”
—Tampa Tribune

About The Awful
I was bored on the 9th of Octover 1940 when, I believe, the Nasties were still booming us led by Madolf Heatlump (who only had one). Anyway they didn't get me. I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol. And still didn't pass -- much to my Aunties supplies. As a member of the most publified Beatles my (P, G, and R's) records might seem funnier to some of you than this book, but as far as I'm conceived this correction of short writty is the most wonderfoul larf I've every ready.
God help and breed you all.

A (very) Far Out Book,
By Susana Santamaria (Longmont, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In His Own Write (Hardcover)
Quite a fascinating read! I couldn't put it down after reading the first story! John's "language" is quite amusing and the pictures are a blast to look at! I highly reccomend it to anyone who likes off-the-wall entertainment!

Blown Away,
By Chris (The North of London But Only by 12 Miles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Lennon: in His Own Write (Hardcover)
An absolutely magnificent peice of literature! The use of language is witty and funny and I have never experienced such joy from a collection of short stories before. The ''Is He Deep?'' introduction set the mood of the bok and that question played on mind throughout the entire read. Fantastic
4.0 out of 5 stars
