Rating: Summary: Five stars for entertainment value, not content quality! Review: Who knows how much of what Peter Brown says is true? It's clear that many of the anecdotes he relates have been discredited (i.e., John Lennon's one night stand with Brian Epstein), but this is still an entertaining light read for anyone who likes or loves The Beatles. The opening chapter makes you sad--Brown begins with Cynthia Lennon coming home from a weekend trip to find Yoko Ono casually counging around the house in Cynthia's bathrobe. You can almost feel how humiliated she must have been. Five stars as a good beach book, with the caveat that it's far from complete and not completely reliable.
