Rating:  Summary: The most fun book on John Lennon you'll ever experience Review: Of the hundreds of books out about The Beatles or John Lennon, this one definitely stands out. It isn't just a book to read but a book to experience. I had so much fun turning the pages and looking in each of the many pockets to discover what hidden treasure I'd find next. I've been a Beatle fan since the beginning and have just about every book written about them but this one is special. If you're a John Lennon fan you must have this book. Even if you aren't a big fan, you'll love this very special, and unbelievably low priced book. Do yourself a favor and get it immediately!

Rating:  Summary: Perfect for the Lennon lover! Review: This book is amazing, mainly for its innovative interactivity. The text is pretty basic - a Beatles enthusiast wouldn't learn anything new. But the envelopes and pockets filled with replicas of some really cool John Lennon memorabilia - like copies of pages of handwritten lyrics by John, collectible cards, tickets to their shows and many others - makes it well worth the money. Granted, they are all replicas, but it's all still very cool. This is a must have for those who love John and can't afford to collect all the expensive memorabilia.
Rating:  Summary: IN JOHN'S LIFE Review: This is an outstanding biography of John Lennon.This is a high caliber, comprehensive work that follows John Lennon's early years in Liverpool and the formation of the rock bands he founded until its final evolution as the Beatles. There are a plethora of good photographs and material that will captivate readers from Beatle experts to lay persons. This author has clearly done an excellent job of researching his material. Yoko's input is invaluable and helps to make a good work all the more effective. Imagine owning this masterpiece - you will be so glad that you do. As for the Beatles, in my life, I love them more. This book will certainly spark an even keener interest in the Beatles and the man known as the Chief Beatle, John Lennon.
Rating:  Summary: A Must-Have Book Review: When I first saw this book, I had to have it. I have many, many Beatles books, but there is none like this. It is a real touch and feel book making you feel like you've gone back into time. Having been to Liverpool and seeing the Fab Four sites, I must say this book comes close to being there again! Leave this one out on your coffee table!

Rating:  Summary: In Time Review: You simply cannot put a 'Legend' on just 1 (in words one) CD, this is just quiet embarrassing. Although 'Working class hero' is on that one, tey've forgot at least to put 'John Sinclair' on it.
