Beatleology: A Magical Mystery Tour to Discover Your Inner Beatle

by Roger Jaquette and Adam Jaquette

Book Overview

Are you a romantic optimist with a cheery disposition? You might be a "Paul."

Brooding, introverted, and artistic? You are probably a "John."

If you tend to take life as it comes with a happy go-lucky attitude, most likely you are a "Ringo."

Thoughtful, with a tendency toward passive-aggressive behavior? You might be a "George."

Customer Reviews

Rum and wine sold separately

This feels like an expanded version of a late-night discussion over drinks with old friends. Insightful, funny, often cringing with introspection. Of course, being a Beatles fan is a must, and if you aren't, then you're just a Yoko. I think this could be tweaked down into a great party game. Roll some dice, ask some questions, see if people agree with the answers and if they've correctly guessed which Beatle fits said answers. Rum and wine sold separately.

Great Fun And A Conversation Piece Too!

I love my copy of Beatleology. Not only do I get to learn fun facts about one of my all time favorite bands, but I get to see that I am a George, which is quit funny and actually makes a lot of sense. I love all of the humor in the book. It's a lot of fun to take the quiz with friends and get into silly philosophical discussions about the fab four.

Fun Beatles Book

This book is great in that it does go into a bit of "pop" psychology, but also analyzes the style and personality of each Beatle and how they contributed to the band. Also, it talks about how to deal with the Yokos in your life. Very funny--any Beatle fan would enjoy it as gift!

Beatleology is a fun personality book for Beatles Fans

The premise of this book is fun and simple. Instead of us being a "Leo" or year of the dog, according to Beatleology each person is either a John, Paul, George, or Ringo. We all have an Inner Beatle which dictates our personality and relationships. For instance, thoughtful, introspective people are Georges. Type-A personalities tend to Pauls. After reading a few chapters I was quickly able to identify all of my friends and family members which was a lot of fun. Along with descriptions of the four different Inner Beatles, the book discusses minor signs and why we should watch out for our Yoko (a hilarious idea). I found Beatleology to be a great gift for all the Beatles fans in my life.
