John: A Biography

I finished this book in a day and to be honest I was in shock of there way Cynthia's life turned out. It shows you how money and fame with pressure changes a person. She was beautiful soul. John Lennon was a good writer and creative musician but behind the music he was complex and just hurtful person. I truly and honestly believe Cynthia was the only woman who ever lived John.

I finished this book within 2 days of buying it. Wonderfully written, Cynthia weaves an intimate and poignant tapestry of her life with John, their families, and the insanity that was Beatlemania in a way that leaves you feeling as if you were there. The divorce and the aftermath of John's murder was particularly painful and tragic to read on several levels. I cried reading the last 2 chapters. I highly recommend this book.

You will probably come away from reading this book not liking John Lennon at all. Even though he was a musical genius he was an abusive man and terribly insecure. Kind of like Steve Jobs. We need to stop idolizing these very flawed and not nice people.
