I read it the beginning of the school year. Took a really long time to read, and I was reading it practically through the whole school day. The beginning of the book is really good, but it starts dragging around India time or something. I read Shout! by Phillip Norman and hated it, so I thought I would hate In My Life, but it was a good book. Lots of stuff in it I hadn't read before.

I finished Shout! a few weeks ago...it was a good book but I certainly don't think it deserves all the plaudits ...

I just downloaded this as I got a great deal/discount on it on iBooks. The reviews all look good, and I've enjoyed Shout! over the years although it's a bit clinical and academic. However, he makes no bones about being a John fan but is critical of him. Anyone here read it? Thoughts?
