This is a personal appreciation of John Lennon. The text is accompanied by photographs, many of which have never been seen before. Norman traces Lennon's life from his ascent from the Liverpool suburbs to leadership of "The Beatles", his relationship with Yoko Ono and his exile in New York City. The publication of this book commemorates the tenth anniversary of the murder. Other books written by this author include "Shout: The True Story of the Beatles", "The Road Goes On For Ever" and "The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones".
