Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love this book and go back to it on a regular basis, and I am a fan who has more than 100 Beatles-related books. It just grabs you and keeps you with its humor and unique perspective. Elliot Huntley's fondness for George is palpable. But at the same time this is not hagiography. The author pokes fun, from time to time, at George Harrison's seriousness regarding gurus and spirituality, but always with affection. The detail and insights are terrific. Too many authors take the subject of the Beatles overly seriously, and such is not the case here. Mr. Huntley manages to shine light on much about George and his music, and for once I came away with some really wonderful tidbits about my favorite Beatle. Your collection is truly incomplete without this gem. Can't wait for Mr. Huntley's next book!

This biography of Harrison's post-Beatles life celebrates his career as a musician and independent filmmaker. Analysing Harrison's solo albums as well as his work with the Travelling Wilburys, this work also incorporates Harrison's final album, "Brainwashed". Delving into the ex-Beatle's personal life, the book examines Harrison's high-profile divorce from Patti Boyd, his battles with cancer, and a near-death experience at the hands of an attacker in 1999.
