What They're Saying
Critics Review
[Davies] has done a sensitive and scrupulous job collecting and annotating Lennon’s letters, and the book is beautifully designed * Vanity Fair *
A must-read for Beatles fans * Glamour *
The letters offer an opportunity to see Lennon less as icon than as human being * LA Times *
A massive deposit of freshly excavated notes, screeds, asides and howls, each lavishly reproduced and carefully annotated, “Letters” is the most intimate book ever published about Lennon. In its revelation of the man’s psychology, it far surpasses all previous accounts by wives, lovers, half-siblings, ex-aides and even the best biographers. * Washington Post *
