This book is a good read but...., Jui 17 2000
I have read about 2-3 john lennon books in my teens and my first was the fred seamen one, he was his personal assistant from 1978-80,I have to say it ripped my hard days night cheeky chappy view of lennon apart.He showed the real sad,lonely,victim of his own mouth john lennon. He showed how really the most loudmouth, in yer face,"I don`t care what you think" speaker of the 20th century was the most unconfident and lowkey. He also told us how yoko ono was this money grabbin`,cold, divorce timing expert, but then again she is after all suing the guy for some unknown reason so maybe he wants to get back at her. I then read RAY COLEMANS version, a version that is the most "unrealistic" it shows lennon to be this fantastic hero sent to earth to stop all hate and show us how to be. Theres 2 ways to look at it, his sources were Yoko, and other "close family" members.Now they would either tell a true sight of lennon or they would protect him? "£$%^ Albert Goldman now that one is very sick , I`d stick with the COLEMAN one if your into peace and love but not if your into the truth! Buy it though he`s a very good writer!

a witty genius, Avril 26 2004
I think Ray Coleman gave an in-depth approach to writing this book. He didn't attack John Lennon in any way, he just told facts. He talks a lot about John as a teenager, a star, a father, and a husband. This book was well written and insightful. At times it did get very tedious, but nonetheless interesting and definitely a book for any Beatles, or John Lennon fan to read. Being a HUGE Beatles fan, it made me see another side to John Lennon that I was oblivious to. Paul used to be my favorite Beatle, but now it is John. It was obvious that Ray was a close friend of John's, which really let the reader see the REAL Lennon. He doesn't sugarcoat Lennon at all. He tells about how John would make fun of cripples, and how he was heavily into acid and other drugs. He tells about John's arrogant approach toward women, and how he sometimes ignored his family. He also lets us see the sensitive side of John. Ray Coleman really lets the world see what a witty, intelligent, loving on the inside, "hard" on the outside, genius that John Lennon was.

Probably the best bio out there, Fév 21 2003
Aside from being one of the best musicians in the history of rock and roll, John Lennon was also a philosopher and an activist, and while so many modern day activist/musicians seem to lack credibility, if not to be downright charlatans, Lennon seemed to deeply believe in what he was doing, and made serious use of his fame as a tool for social good. And, as I say, he was a phenomenal musician. This bio is one of many that have been written about the former Beatle, and it is, in my opinion, the best. The volume chronicles Lennon's early life and spends a substantial amount of space delving into the triumphs and conflicts of the Fab Four. You come away grasping much of the complexity that made Lennon such a prolific musician, but also what drove him to want to better the world. Coleman's intimacy with Lennon shines through the book. It is a must for any Beatle's fan.
