5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 4 Jun 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: John Lennon in His Own Write (Hardcover)

I don't read much, but this book I could read over and over and over again. Not many peoble see the humour in his stories. All of a suddy you're sent on this hysterically funny journey through a jumble of stories that make sense but don't. Loved it to bits!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and Unique, 30 Dec 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: John Lennon in His Own Write (Hardcover)

Lennon writes in the same style as the famous Lewis Carroll. His poems/stories are a mixture of "gobbldeygook" and brilliant sarcasm which will leave you howling with laughter. Each page is different and captivating. This book isn't like anything you've ever read before-IT'S BETTER.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book, funny and everlasting., 7 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: John Lennon in His Own Write (Hardcover)

A wonderful book that I have enjoyed since I purchased it back in the sixties. I quote the book often. The humor is priceless and will last forever. The world lost a gem, it's too bad he didn't live to write more than he did.
