Any John Lennon fan knows that there are many facets to the man who wrote "Give Peace a Chance" and "All You Need is Love," including a mean streak and a propensity for violence. However, in "The Lives of John Lennon" so much of the story is Goldman's armchair psychology. The author puts a negative slant on every aspect of John's life. It is difficult to know how much is fact and how much is made up in the mind of the author.
