Customer Reviews

Marvelous - how is it out of print so quickly?

I don't think that the author is necessary conflicted between the Coleman and Goldman views of Lennon's life so much as looking from the outside, considering all possibilites without claiming to "know" anything. Not as good as A Hard Day's Write, true, but still a very excellent companion to Lennon's life and works.

Lennon rediscovered!!

Finally the comprehensive book on John lennon's much undeservedly neglected solo work. Du Noyer takes us on a trip like no one has before. Through the mind of John Lennon, when he was composing hits like 'Instant Karma'(which definitely has got to be his best solo work),'Imagine', 'Jealous Guy' and the poignant love songs from the 'Double Fantasy' album. What makes the book really worth many reads is the fact that at no point does Du Noyer make an attempt to glorify all that Lennon composed after breaking up with the Beatles. He is dispassionately unbiased while separating the non-inspiring works like Some Time In New York City from classics like Imagine, Plastic Ono Band etc. A must read for any Lennonophile.
