My Review:
This is the best "everything-you-want-to-know-about" The Beatles!
There is a chapter for every single subject, right down to website links, lists of songs, albums, books, you name it. It doesn't focus on the two most successful Beatles either. It stays true to them all and spotlights them each in the book. Including all of the deemed fifth Beatle(s).
A "fab" book that I have to recommend to every Beatle, (no scratch that), music fan!
(5/5)

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
