Product Description

Product Description

30 years after their acrimonious split, the Beatles continue to be the most influential and best-loved band the world has ever seen. Yet despite all that has been written about them, few have managed to get behind the public facade of the Fab Four and write the truth about the world's most popular band. No one knows more about their secret world than Geoffrey Giuliano. For the first time Geoffrey has brought together exclusive interviews with the band's inner circle to create the most vivid and sensational portrait of the band ever published. From the sexual abuse suffered by John Lennon at the hands of his uncle as a boy, to Paul McCartney's stormy relationship with his family. From the serial adultery of band members with each other's wives, to the fearsome addictions and personal demons that pursued each member after the Beatles broke up. This is a unique and essential portrait of the band who shook the world like no other. It will change the way we see the Beatles forever.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry excuse for another Beatles book, 16 Mar 2006
There has been a lot written about the Beatles over the past 40 years and we could well do without this book. Like every other Geoffrey Guilliano book I have read on the subject matter it is nothing but sensation hunting rubbish - not worth the paper it is printed on. I have personally seen George and Paul meeting the author and loathing him. If you are interested in the truth, read the Anthology....but definitely not this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did he just make it up?, 3 Sep 2006
By lexo1941 (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Geoffrey Giuliano seems to be one of those writers who divides people; either you love what he writes, or you love the people he writes about. This book on the Beatles seems to be a good candidate for one of the less essential items about them, on the grounds that some of the 'facts' Giuliano claims to have uncovered seem pretty preposterous. For example, he reprints a transcript of a longish conversation between John Lennon and Samuel Beckett. If Lennon and Beckett had ever actually met, I think that at least one of either of their previous biographers would have known something about it by now. Beckett loved music and knew a lot about it, but he was strictly a classical fan; that he would have had such a detailed knowledge of the Beatles' work and Lennon's contribution to it in particular, stretches this reader's credulity beyond breaking point.

There's a difference between artistic licence and making stuff up, but Giuliano appears not to recognise it.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, 27 Dec 2006
By D. J. Rhodes "rockin_ringo" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book over Christmas and found it an interesting read. As a lifelong fan you could argue that some of the 'facts' presented here may be dubious, but its a far more balanced view than the anthology presents. I enjoyed it and would recommend it even to casual fans.
