5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down, Feb 23 2004

This review is from: The Walrus Was Ringo: 101 Beatles Myths Debunked (Paperback)

I stayed up all night reading this book. Spencer bravely shoots down myths like the Cunard Yanks and others. There are so many Beatles books to sift through, at least this has a different angle besides "stories behind the songs" or "another Hamburg tale" or even a book about their various drum kits. I think you'll enjoy it if you're tired of the same stories rehashed over and over again. Spencer has a very popular radio show on Merseyside and is a leading historian.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Beatle Rip Off Book, Jan 27 2004

By

Brad Kisling (Pocatello, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Walrus Was Ringo: 101 Beatles Myths Debunked (Paperback)

Most of the other reviews have said it well, this book is a total waste of time and I wouldn't have told my wife to get this for me for x-mas had I seen who the "authors" were (I was basing my want for the book based on the title which sounded like it could have been very cool) Most of the "myths" aren't, has some very bad, inacurate and distorted facts, poor writing, I could go on and on---I think the only reason I even finished it (mostly when taking a crap) is for the laughs I got on how stupid and ludicrous it was---If I could give this a negative star I would, in fact it pisses me off that I have to give this 1 star ---don't buy any Beatle book by these "authors" they all stink.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this one..., Jan 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Walrus Was Ringo: 101 Beatles Myths Debunked (Paperback)

I was beyond disappionted with this book. The "myths" the title refers to are nothing but trivia, and many are "trivial" Beatles trivia at best. There are absolutely no revelations or new facts here. It is also full of errors and inaccuracies. The authors approach this book with arrogance, condescension, and a lot of snideness. I'm very sorry I threw away almost $20 on this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Debunking the myth that the sun is cold
The dictionary defines myth as "a traditional or legendary story". Most of the "myths" in this book are nothing but trivia; hardly legendary. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Trivial trivia
Few would argue that the Beatles are the most well-documented and critiqued act in entertainment. Admist a vast sea of literature, there are bound to be books that don't... Read more
