Some people are trying to say that this book is just a load of bull and Paul was just falsly justifying himself so he wouldn't look like such a brainless idiot to future generations. That could not be further from the truth. If there are any John fans out there who think that he was the be all and end all of the Beatles and their avant-garde stage, then they are truly deluding themselves. This book was fascinating and insightful. Recommended to anyone interested in the group or the period.
