Title: "All You Need Is Love" by Peter Brown and Stephen Gaines
Post by: Normandie on April 22, 2024, 11:37:41 PM

This is a first, I  think: a Beatles book I don't feel compelled to read.

I didn't learn anything new from the Post's summary, so I doubt the book will add much either. It smacks of a sensationalistic purpose. Ironically, Peter Brown's The Love You Make (which I just now noticed was also coauthored with Stephen Gaines) was the very first Beatles book I read.

Reviews on Amazon aren't too keen.

I didn’t realise Peter Brown was still alive. It does sound a bit attention seeking.

I wouldn't bather with Patterson's Lennon book either, I'm not enjoying it.
