Summary: George at a Glance
Review: With George's passing in 2001, I was under the impression that his memoirs would be revamped. Unfortunately this is not the case. I Me Mine is still the standard bearing book about the "Quiet Beatle". Although the "Quiet Beatle" remains quiet even in his memoirs.The introduction written by his wife Oliva is a nice touch to this book. George's last touch to this book was made while John Lennon was still alive. In the book, George gives us a glance into his upper-middle class childhood as well as his early days as a musician. The reader also sees a very concise version of the development of the Beatles. Then, the book seems to leap into the break up of the band. George does spend a significant portion of his memoirs of his life with the Beatles discussing his religious development. The 77 pages of memoirs are concluded with George discussing his hobbies such as gardening and racing. The remainder of the book is photographs and explanations the songs he wrote for the Beatles and his solo work pre-1980's. The song explanations are interesting for people who are true George Harrison fans. In regard to the photographs, some of the captions are a reflection of George's great sense of humor. While I think this is a beautiful book with great artwork that gives a great deal of insight into who George Harrison was, I can only hope a quality, thorough biography of George Harrison will be written.

Summary: i miss you gentle soul
Review: Yes. I miss George, what Beatle fan doesn't. I daily think of him and John, and can't help mourn for these tragic losses. I bought this book used here on Amazon. I was eager to read it, and it was good. But it was not great. I was looking for more of the author's insight and wisdom, more personal facts. But there aren't too many of those. Not surprising, though, considering it is George. The lyrics, written in his own hand, are priceless.Had I to do over, I would still buy this book, because it is precious to me to have a little piece his life, and mine too, to remember. He so loved his God. Let us be joyful that he is with Him in paradise. Thank you Amazon for allowing me to share my thoughts.
