Book Reviews of The Beatles (20th-Century Composers)
Book Review: An outstanding book
Summary: 5 Stars
Kozinn brings an interesting perspective to his book on the Beatles. He is a well-known classical music reviewer for the New York Times. But, at the same time, he's also been the Times' Beatles reporter for many years. He also has interviewed members of the group on a number of occasions. This book is one of the best analytical studies on the Beatles and their music you'll find. Well worth getting.Book Review: Good Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is good to read it presented alot of facts,etc. Yet, it seemed to i, that it lacked most important stuff about the beatles. a plus, it containes never seen before pictures of them. a most read for those who[a]want to learn about the beatles or [b]to refresh your beatle knowledge.Book Review: TEXTBOOK of YOUNG BEATLES' FANS
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are not a Beatles fan in the 60's or you just start listening to them recently, this one is suitable for you to make a study on them. Though the events recorded are quite general and already very 'well-known', the book should still be in the collection list of Beatles fans. Also, if you don't know anything about the Fab Four, you should read this before reading the biography of each of themBook Review: Again?
Summary: 1 Stars
What we have here is yet another Beatles fan trying to show off what he knows about their songs, and attempting to "explain" it all. If more accurate histories are to be trusted, the Beatles themselves, particularly their prime movers, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, didn't have a great deal in mind when they wrote these songs. Nevertheless, far too many authors, including this one, have churned out volumes of "explanation and interpretation" of Beatles songs, what they really mean, how they reflect the 1960s social and political scene, and so on. The last thing we needed was another one, particularly by an author who, despite his credentials as a classical music writer, is strictly another amateur Beatlemaniac posing as an authority.
