Customer Reviews

It's okay

it's older, but a good read. I do feel he exaggerates a bit at times (just judging from other books I've read), but it's pretty good.

Some Great Stories But Is It Exaggerated?

Pete Shotton was Lennon's buddy from childhood on. Pete was a stabilizing factor in Lennon's crazy life. You'll read about how, as boys, they made life miserable for the teachers at school. Some of the stories seem a bit exaggerated for effect; it's a bit hard to swallow that the headmaster can't tell the difference between rain on a window and a child urinating on the floor. Pete tells us about not surprising young days indulging in group masturbation and sex, on to the Dakota Days, with Dragon Lady Yoko obviously hating anyone who was ever friends with John. If you're a Lennon fan, find a copy.
