Has anybody read this? is it any good? 

  

I just picked this up (Living the Beatles Legend by Ken Womack, the bio on Mal Evans), but I haven't read it yet.  It looks good, but it's currently #2 on my list of books to read.  I'm a slow reader though, so it might be awhile before I post any thoughts.  I trust the author though, so I would recommend it.

I see a new book on the shelves -The Beatles, Featuring a Collection of Memorabilia from the Lives of the Fab Four. Cover looks great. I’ll look into this one to see if it’s worth a buy.

The Ian Leslie book got some rave reviews over on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/beatl.....an_leslie/

please excuse typing....im disabled.

my friend has this book and I'm not impressed.

its well written but there are too many important mistakes....im not talking about getting a date slightly wrong or anything like that.

and the evidence he gives for his psychological insights are very far fetched.

having said that, his conclusions are fairly ok.

but its. nothing that wen didn't know already.

reviews depend on how much the reviewer knows.....and im getting on a bit, so have read a lot

hoping to write a more detailed review on amazon...will let you know if I do, as its so 

difficult to type...let ,me know if you want examples
