The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz

4.0

This book is really comprehensive and is a good balance between saying good things about the Beatles while not getting into hero worship. It covers some of the uglier incidents and aspects of their personalities as well. I would have rated it 5 stars except for the fact that I felt it didn't give George enough time; I think he was just as interesting as Paul and John, but there's more focus placed on the personal journeys of the latter two in the later days of the Beatles. The other reason would be that I wish it had gone into more detail about the recording sessions, but the author was probably a bit hamstrung there by the sources he had available to him. Overall worth reading for any Beatles fan.
