Title: Shout! The True Story Of The Beatles
Author: Philip Norman
Pages: 475
Genre: Non-Fiction
Summary:
This epic tale charts the rise of four scruffy Liverpool lads from their wild, often comical early days to the astonishing heights of Beatlemania, from the chaos of Apple and the collpase of hippy idealism to the bands acrimonious split. It also describes their struggleto escape the smothering Beatle's legacy and the tragic deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison.
My Thoughts:
Very interesting. Very well written and he obviously had researched well! It's a bit out of date now, as it was revised last in 2003, but still, the facts are still going to be the same! My only criticism is that it couldn't have been quite as much doom and gloom as he made out all the time!
