Summary: made me want more
Review: ... of the autobiographical stuff in the first part of the book. John's good at telling what and how, not so good at delving into the why. Whose bright idea was it to use heroin? Why can't he muster anything warmer toward the Beatles than "I bear them no ill will"? Why did he and Yoko allow themselves to get sucked into the revolutionary peace movement when he plainly says it was at odds with his own beliefs? The few morsels we get here really make me wish he had sat down long enough to write a proper autobiography. I guess he figured he had plenty of time... or else had already said what he wanted to say in his songs. In the later writings, certain turns of phrase and wordplay jump out amidst the (sometimes unreadable) jumble of a restless and always innovative mind. This is a man in love with language for its own sake - "making sense" is beside the point. But it's quite obvious that had he wanted to write stories that made sense in the conventional way, he would've been damn good at it.
The drawings are spare of line, but full of charm. Pretty much like the man himself.

Summary: a multi-faceted delight
Review: A scintillating collection of prose which proves Mr. Lennon's very unique and fascinating ability to play with words and the way we read them. Sharply witty, often exploring more abstract techniques of writing, "Skywriting by Word of Mouth" shows that writing is an art for everyone to enjoy and interpret for herself.

Summary: A book full of "Walrus" and "Lucy"-like Lennon-isms.
Review: Anyone who enjoys Edward Lear will love Lennon's book of nonsense. He masterfully crafts the English language to suit his desires and needs, giving the reader a non-sensical trip into his before-his-time mind. Filled with classic Lennon-isms, Skywriting is a must for any fan of John's. There is something new to be seen every time you pick it up!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: As a assingment I chose the book Skywriting By Word Of Mouth and thought it was an excellent book. This isn't because I am a huge Beatles fan. I like how it was put together and how everything in there is so true!

Review: Clever. This book is clever (which is little wonder because John Lennon can be criticized for many things but never for his lack of wit). If you are a fan of the great Mr. Lennon, This is a must read. I would venture to say that there are more puns in this book than in any other piece of literature. It truly helps one understand the man behind all the hype - in very much the same way as the John Lennon Anthology does (which, by the way, is priceless). It's a thing of beauty, and as funny and entertaining as they come.

Review: Gandalf there should shoe moor respect my way for the dearly desisted and his 'rejected scribblings.'

Summary: John at his wittiest! A Must-Have.
Review: I love this book, his writings about him and Yoko, the Beatles breakup, Peace, his battle with the US government are very revealing.
But the book is a treasure because of the many "Lennonisms", such as: "why did the chicken cross himself" "always a bridesmaid, never a couplet" "if you can manicure a cat, can you caticure a man?" "Maurice finished his donut, tipped over the waitress and headed for the door." "this is my story both humble and true
take is to pieces and mend it with glue" There's so much more, if you love Lennon, you'll love this book.
