5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
For whats available on my favorite drummer of all time, this was a great book! I do wish he would do one in his own words, but this book seemed very thorough! It really gives you perspective on the tough life this amazing guy lived! I have so much respect for him, seeing the battle out of a sickly childhood and a tough fight with substance abuse! Love YOU Ringo!

I was looking forward to this book as there are so few on Ringo. I am somewhat disappointed. The aspect I enjoyed was the small amount of information regarding his background that I had not known before, note the word "small."

This review is from: Ringo Starr: A Life (Paperback)
I was looking forward to this book as there are so few on Ringo. I am somewhat disappointed. The aspect I enjoyed was the small amount of information regarding his background that I had not known before, note the word "small."
My greatest concern was the author's style. There is a lot of meandering off on useless self indulgent tangents. This is to the extent that I often lost track of the point being made altogether. What is even more annoying is the way Clayson uses the english language. He writes in wordy self conscious ramblings that seem to be more about his self-satisfied word play than about the information being given. I have over 200 books about The Beatles, this one would only be suggested to someone willing to read a lot to learn a little.
