The Beatles The Biography Author:Bob Spitz At last in paperback: the biography the Beatles deserve. It's all here, raw and right--the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the awe and the jealousy, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, the magic never to be repeated--in a vast, exuberantly acclaimed book that's as brilliant and joyous and revelatory as a Beatles record itself.
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The history behind so many of The Beatles songs was fascinating to learn and took me down memory lane like no book ever has. Being born in the mid-60's, I missed much of the Beatles early years and had no idea they'd started out singing a lot of American songs by Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Ray Charles, and Elvis. I was sad to learn that they didn't get along very well toward the end. I'd always heard that Yoko was the reason for the band's break up, but that isn't the way this story is told. It was a long time in coming with many years of pent up emotions on all sides. I recommend this book to anyone whether you loved or hated the Beatles. There's something for everyone here.
