Media Reviews

Lennon Remembers is classic Lennon. It's not a sit-back-and-put- your-feet-up read ... it's like a jolt on your nerves like bad, bad espresso. People with weak stomachs should close the window before reading. You might just feel like jumping out. - Yoko Ono, from the Foreword. Arguably the most legendary interview ever conducted with a major celebrity. - Library Journal A must-have for anyone who loves and remembers Lennon. - San Antonio Exporess This is the only voice that will ever articulate what it was really, really like to be in the Beatles when it all went wrong - caught in a moment, rasping, raving, and flaming mad. - Uncut Finds Lennon in fine form, still bitter about the breakup of the Beatles, full of optimism about his future solo projects, opinionated, emotional and full of life. It captures his mercurial character more exactly than any other book on the Beatles I've read. - Independent on Sunday As riveting a document as it was three decades ago... there is still nothing to rival this interview in the annals of rock journalism - it has lost none of its power to shock. - Anthony DeCurtis, Rolling Stone
