As you might have guessed this book is a biography of The Beatles, the biggest and most influential band ever. This book is a ridiculous length, making it very hard for me to finish it in three weeks. It is an incredibly detailed description of the story of The Beatles, from grade school all the way up to the death of John Lennon. It starts with a description of each individual member. The first few chapters each open with a story of a different members childhood, talking about their upbringing and cultural background. It follows this story all the way up to their meeting of the next member and then picks up the next chapter with that member's childhood. At the point that I am in the book a college aged John Lennon and a high school aged Paul McCartney have just come across a very young and talented guitarist named George Harrison. I chose to read this book because it really struck me as the definitive Beatles book. I am an avid Beatles fan and therefore I figured it would make for an interesting read.
