Maximum Lennon The Unauthorised Biography of John Lennon Book

Same smartass approach; easier to grasp once you're familiar with Clayson's style. So far so good.

Okay, I'm done with this one. It was okay, but the focus on peripheral groups to the Beatles in the early days, and where they ended up, and what they did, and didn't do (mostly the latter), is in the final analysis, tiresome. And of little value to someone, like me, who really doesn't care all that much. While it is perhaps useful to continually place Lennon in the milieu from which the Beatles sprang, it ends up being less about Lennon, and more about the milieu. I did dig the non-reverent approach however. This slender volume is virtually bereft of any hint of hero worship, which makes it more palatable, and in places, quite funny. Overall: Ehhh.
