Beatlebone by Kevin Barry
4.0
Beatlebone by Kevin Barry is a free NetGalley ebook that I began reading during an early morning in November, due to the advent of an autumn Daylight Savings Time.
The first 70% of this book is pure inspiration, an impressive and the best interpretation of John Lennon in any medium after his death that I've yet seen. It's not mockery, parrotry, or silly at all, but transportive and pathos-wrenching at the same time.
Then comes an entire chapter of author's note. It breaks the revelry and, even though there's 10% of back-to-the-good-stuff narration afterward, it doesn't bring you back to the original giddy feeling that you began the book with.
