A Fresh View of John Lennon

John's sister, Julia Baird offers a unique perspective of John's life and his relationship with his Liverpool family. Other biographies merely gloss over John's family (with the exception of Mimi). I found out some interesting facts about the Stanley sisters. If you're a big John Lennon fan and you already know a lot of Lennon trivia, read this book for a fresh view point.(...)

The unknown side of John Lennon

This is a very interesting book about John Lennon as a family man. His sister Julia tells all the truth about the relationships between John and his mother, his stepfather, his little sisters, the tragedy when their mother was killed by a drunk policeman, and the beginnings of the group that four years later became the greatest phenomenon of the popular music, The Beatles. Also, Julia remembers for us, the phone conversations with him in the late 70s, close to his death, and the feelings of all family when John was tragicly killed by the gun of a man who was, ironically, a Beatles fan. Great book.

Sheds some light

This is certainly the best book that writer Guiliano has ever been involved in. It is interesting to hear about this untold side of John Lennon's family life, straight from a real member of that family. Nice.
