In Their Lives: Great Writers on Great Beatles Songs by Andrew Blauner

3.0

Consisting of an interesting if slightly confusing collection of essays from fans of the Beatles, I felt a bit like this book suffers from a lack of direction. Some essays are serious musical theory studies into what makes the songs great while others are personal recollections on what a song meant to the author at a certain time. Both are perfectly acceptable directions to take when discussing the Beatles, but not necessarily when doing both at once.
