The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz
4.0
I’d wanted to read this since it was published and had touched the book in the NAHS Library multiple times since ‘10. After reading The Beatles 50th Anniversary book (no ISBN; it’s considered a 180-some odd page CD insert) after Christmas I decided the time was right.
I enjoyed the book, I found Spitz’s narrative engaging and picked up some new stories. Much was familiar, I’ve been reading about the Beatles since my childhood, but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment.
I found it interesting that the lads’ childhoods were recounted at length, and I suppose that is foundational, yet the book ended abruptly at the band’s break-up.
Finally, the bibliography and index in this book are amazing! I plan to lose myself in those next.
