Why all the clamore for this book?Aside from Norman's clear biases and regular inaccuracies (Piggies is a song about people who eat meat?? Delaney & Bonnie were a hillbilly band??) his writing style is like that of a precocious teenager. Then there are the passages I read over again and still came away wondering what he meant.I'm so glad I picked up this book for free (it's the original edition.) I'm also glad I only read it to pass the time on a cardio machine.Finally, the fact that none of the Beatles agreed to be interviewed for the book should put you on guard.
