An excellent account of the different 'phases' of John Lennons life. The author was a friend of John as well as a journalist and writer who seems to have embodied who John Lennon was and became.
This is a heartbreaking read in some respects because it shows just what the world lost when this gentle man was murdered. So much more could be said of this biography but it must be read. Must be.
