^ I thought it was good not amazing but definitely a good read over a day or two. I read it a while back and I have the worst memory but he compares events in George’s life to his beliefs, he writes about George’s connection with Krishna and a brief history of Krishna and Hinduism. It made me cry at the end

Offline ^^ So he gives a biased view of George’s life/spirituality?
I think I’ll still buy it at some point though. If I remember correctly, it’s only about 100 pages or so, isn’t it?

Books ordered a couple of minutes ago they should be here late next week 
So I have ordered:
“John” -Cynthia Lennon
“The Private John Lennon : The Untold Story From His Sister”-Julia Baird
“We’re Going To See The Beatles!: An Oral History of Beatlemania as Told By The Fans Who Were There”-Garry Berman
“John Lennon : The Life”-Philip Norman
“Magical Mystery Tours: My Life With The Beatles -Tony Bramwell
“Date With a Beatle”- Judith Kristen
No George books Ah well I might get some at Christmas anyways if you’re wondering wh all the fan books, I really like reading stories of teenage girls (like myself) and teenage boys during Beatlemania because I like reading of what they were like and compare it to what I’m like now And if anybody has read the books above, go ahead and give your opinion on them

I heard about that a few months ago, so once you read it, let me know what you think please! (I couldn’t decide whether it was my thing)
Sorry, haven’t read any of the others (apart from ‘John’ but there’s a thread on that). I think I’ve heard that the Philip Norman book is quite good too.
EDIT: I’ve just thought, isn’t it PN that apparently has this thing against Paul? I haven’t read any of his book so I can’t remember. Anyone?

We’re talking about this in another thread but yes, Norman worships John to the point of considering Paul, George, and Ringo just along for the ride, and paints Paul as alternatively a brilliant manipulator of everyone and everything, and also an incredibly insecure person who can’t even function on a basic level unless he gets reaffirmation on everything he does (including breathing).

Offline Just got a copy of Eight Arms to Hold You: The Solo Beatles Compendium the other day from a friend who gave it to me. What an incredible book! I’ve been after a copy for so long and it’s out of print and hard to find for less than $100, and I got it for free from a kind person. I can tell I’m going to be going through this book over and over for a LONG time!

Don’t get into trouble – it’s not worth it. Just think that in 14 days time you’ll have several Beatles books to read 
I can’t read anything at the moment because I have to read this long play that I’ve got an exam on

Offline I read it when it first came out and thought it was interesting. I think the length of time Brown knew the group makes it important.
There is actually a thread here discussing the book.
