5.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to the Beatles' Story, Jun 5 2001

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Twelve Original Trios (Hardcover)

First let me say what a wonderful book this is. I bought it thinking of it as a reference, but ending up reading it cover to cover. There are many stories that run through the book, John, Paul, George, and Ringo's lives, for sure, but you can also follow the legal cases (I never knew Apple records sued Apple Computers, and got an undisclosed settlement!), the tours, the press bickering and the love fests in the press.

I found the organization exceptional. While an index would have been nice (maybe for future editions), I didn't really need it. My favorite activity while reading this book was to follow various threads from entry to entry. So, when John wrote a letter to Melody Maker, that is noted and you are directed to the subsequent dates to find out the response, etc. I found this to be fun and engaging. All in all, a wonderful book.

This review is from: Twelve Original Trios (Hardcover)

I thought this book was a great read!. Its researched with great detail & passion from a writer who knows his stuff. I'd love to meet the writer, as I imagine that he could talk for hours about the Beatles & you wouldn't get bored!.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential No Matter What, Sep 29 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Twelve Original Trios (Hardcover)

This is a great book. The research is fantastic. However some things are wrong with this book. There is a complete lack of an index, appendixes, and discographies. It is also somewhat annoyingly not a coffee table style book but shaped like a novel. There is some obvious events that are missing and some dates are incorrect. Not to mention some are pretty much irrelevant. Also, it starts on April 1, 1970(the last day a Beatle [Ringo] recorded something on a Beatle Song)which is somewhat clever, but it should have started at sometime around August 1969, which as we all know was for the most when the real breakup occured. This may be a harsh opinion, but when it comes to Beatle books there is only one thing you can do and that My friends is to compare them to the Lewisohn books.
