In Depth. For any fan of the Beatles' music who is just starting to want to learn more about the group I recommend this book. Norman's book provides just enough detail to keep the reader entertained without becoming dull and boring. It allows the reader to understand the group from their humble "Quarrymen" days, to the breakup and resulting solo careers of each Beatle. I seriously recommend this book, as well as Norman's other book "John Lennon: the Life".

Exceptional book for Beatles fans. A great book with all kinds of insights into each of the Beatles.

Good read. Missing a lot of great details from more recent books (and photos). But altogether very honest.

Good history, bad musicology. No argument this is the most well researched book in the Beatles library. However he loses credibility with his musical reviews. Example, he characterizes George Harrison as an “average guitar player,” which isn’t accurate even on a technical level. But considering GH’s guitar creativity, he was revolutionary with his intricate and perfected weavings precisely refined to the need. Using the author’s yardstick, where he conflates technical chops with artistry, one might consider Dream Theater to be a better band than the Beatles. But as long as you are willing to overlook his uninformed opinion and instead focus on historicity, the book is well worth a read.

Junk. Harrison is rated 11 on Rolling Stone, I don’t think The Beatles would have been so popular without those classic leads George performed and I won’t even start how crucial Ringo was. That band was not just Lennon and McCartney. Good songs by them without Harrison and Starr they would not be classics.
