John was the rebel - so we thought. The image persists but of course John became a house husband with Yoko managing the finances. This short but packed narrative gives a real taste of John's achievements and difficulties. Some aspects may be missing - any song lyrics, the rawness of Beatlemania, for instance. But many aspects are included, not shirking the broken relationships and bad feeling. The tone is sympathetic - Yoko is credited with soothing John's 'despondent state of mind and reckless drug abuse'. The 'Profiles' format is, above all, clear: unfussy layout, a photo or graphic on nearly every page, with well-spaced text. Emboldened words are explained in a glossary. It seems aimed at readers aged 10 - 14.
