Product Description

John Winston Lennon was shot outside the Dakota Building on December 8, 1980. In November of 2006, he finds himself standing in Grand Central Station, unaware that he was assassinated. Is he a ghost? Perhaps not. On her way home from work, ad exec Amy Parisi sees the former Beatle sitting alone in the Mercy Street Café in Greenwich Village. There's only one problem: there's no Mercy Street in the Village, and Amy is the only one who can see the café. In the weeks that follow, Amy and Lennon take one of the most incredible road trips in rock and roll history, one far stranger than any acid-induced hallucination from the sixties.

John Lennon and the Mercy Street Café is the story of a man, the voice of an entire generation, who must face the inner demons that plagued both his childhood and his years as the most recognizable figure in popular music. As he does so, he is given the opportunity to leave his indelible mark on the world one last time, showing how hope and the power of music can indeed give peace to a chaotic world.

If you are one of the millions who has been captivated by a man who was both clown and political activist, then step into the Mercy Street Café and meet the legend from Liverpool. But pack your bags for a magical mystery tour that leaves the rational, Newtonian world behind. You are about to enter the world of John Lennon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Journey, April 27, 2008
I loved this book! It was a great read for a rainy week-end snuggled on my couch with, dare I say, a cup of tea. It was a fantastic journey that I didn't want to end...maybe one we all want to take...to look inside ourselves and redo or undo some of our own past...or maybe just to see why we do the things we do...or maybe just to enjoy a few hours with a music legend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Going on Tour with John Lennon, May 21, 2008
By Charles Gramlich (Metairie,, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I was never a huge Beatles fan, this is an incredibly fun book. If you are a Beatles fan you'll likely enjoy it even more. John Lennon comes back from the dead and at first only a woman named Amy can see him. From the moment she does a wild surreal ride begins involving time travel, the Great Depression, Woody Guthrie, a road trip from New York City to California and back, folk and blues music, and lots of inside information about Lennon and his times. It's the closest thing to going on tour with John Lennon. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining from start to finish!, April 27, 2008
By Geraldine (Canada) - See all my reviews
I just finished reading this book and was truly impressed. Not only is this a fun read and a real page-turner; it also has a deep and compelling message for the reader to contemplate, throughout.

John Lennon spoke for and to a generation: "give peace a chance", "imagine", "strange days indeed" . William Hammett has captured Lennon's charisma and character so well.

The story takes the reader on a journey that has many a twist and turn along the way and is indeed,magical and mysterious.

This is a novel that will appeal to anyone who enjoys a great read, Lennon fan or not. Buy it, read it, pass it along to a friend. A book you will truly enjoy and want to share.
