Book Reviews of Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation
Book Review: If your name's not Paul McCartney you'll enjoy this bio.
Summary: 4 Stars
Just when I thought I couldn't cram any more Beatle lore
into my cranium, I read Philip Norman's biography of the
four lads.
The story of the Beatles is known worldwide and I'll not
repeat any of it here, except to say that Norman gives
each phase of the group's life and career equal time and
equal detail. Showbiz bios too often linger on an act's
childhood and background (to prove that they've researched
extensively?) or are simply a cash-in on current success
and add nothing to the story that one couldn't get from
People Magazine (see bios of Selena, etc.).
If the book has a fault, it is that Norman has obviously joined the "John was the real leader and only decent songwriter" camp and takes swipes at McCartney's personality and music early and often. This is another subject that has been covered ad infinitum, and I will add only that this bias detracts my overall rating of this otherwise excellent and detailed work.
