A review by vikingwolf
John by Cynthia Lennon

3.0

Cynthia Lennon tells her story of how she and John met as teenagers and fell in love,his music obsession,his devotion to his estranged mother Julia and how his famous Aunt Mimi treated Cynthia with contempt.Cynthia talks frankly about Beatlemania,her shock pregnancy,keeping her marriage secret and the cruelty that John inflicted on her during his affair with Yoko.It is a frank and full account of her love for John and Julian while dispelling some of the myths from other Beatles books.She is brutal about John's faults and his treatment of her after Yoko appeared on the scene but she also talks at length of all John's good virtues. A good read.
