4.0 out of 5 stars Makes Paul fans Shout!, 25 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shout!: the Beatles in Their Generation (Paperback)
This is a good book. Giving many facts about the Beatles. Unfortunatly, it takes many cheap punches at Paul. Such as implying that he's the main cause of the Beatle breakup. Both he and John's aunt Mimi don't care for the book, but overall it's a well writen book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating - The Bible of Beatles biographies!, 15 Aug 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Shout!: the Beatles in Their Generation (Paperback)
The story of the Beatles' rise to fame has probably been chronicled in hundreds, if not thousands of books all over the world. Why is Phillip Norman's "SHOUT!: The Beatles in Their Generation" different? This is one of those rare books in which the author, while praising his subject, is not afraid of showing the Beatles as human beings, with virtues as well as flaws, strenghts as well as weaknesses.

Philip Norman gives an astonishingly well researched account of the Beatles' life story, focusing briefly but thoroughly on each of the four musicians' childhood and adolescence, and in more detail on their early struggles and their world-wide success, their break-up and their evolution as people and musicians. This book is a fascinating read, both for the casual rock fan and the most die-hard Beatlemaniac. Without a doubt, "SHOUT!: The Beatles in Their Generation" is the Bible of Beatles biographies, and a book no true Beatles fan should be without.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the definitive biography, but the best available., 2 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Shout!: the Beatles in Their Generation (Paperback)
An excellent review of the Beatles career, being neither too fawning or hyper-critical about the Fab Four. The book has been criticised in some quarters for being pro or anti Paul or John, but I don't see this - it's just a realistic picture of four normal people who became worshipped more than any other musicians before or since.

Where the book is especially good is in the early days and in covering the eventual disintegration of the group and the Apple empire. Almost half of the book is taken up with the story of the early days, and it's very well done. Anyone who grew up in the 50s or early 60s will be able to relate to the world they lived in, and the book makes you feel that you're right there with them.

Where things go a little astray is in relating their passage from just another pop group to superstardom. Events seem to be covered too quickly and at a distance - we get no real insight into what it was like to become suddenly worshipped.

So, not the definitive biography, but an excellent read. The full story will probably only be told when (or if) Paul, George and Ringo decide to cooperate in it's writing. Until that happens, buy this book.
