Thirty years ago, John Lennon's life was tragically cut short, ending one of the most influential and brilliant musical careers of the 20th century.
This photo-biography, with a preface by his wife, Yoko Ono Lennon, takes a look back at the enigmatic legend, and a life marked by restless exploration-into art and music, consciousness and spirituality, politics and protest, love and peace. Featuring family photos and reproductions of documents that bear witness to momentous events and the origins of his “Imaginative” songs, this compilation, like no other, sheds light on his relationships with Paul, George, and Ringo; his attitudes toward mind-expanding drugs, social revolution, and the Vietnam War; the cataclysmic breakup of the Beatles; and the tenderness of his love for Yoko Ono and their only child Sean.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Although this biography-in-photographs appears in conjunction with the thirtieth anniversary of John Lennon’s tragic death at 40, it concentrates on what Yoko Ono describes in her preface as her husband’s “magical” life. While Ono remembers Lennon as a “curious and highly intelligent man,” Blaney writes of Lennon’s “butterfly mind,” shorthand for his brilliance and impatience. In his extensive commentary accompanying hundreds of remarkably elegant private and public photographs, Blaney notes that while the always-photogenic Lennon appears to be “a confident, happy, normal young boy,” everyone knew he was exceptional. Creative, charismatic, ambitious, daring, and sensitive, Lennon concealed his terrible grief over his mother’s death when he was 17 behind a caustic and aggressive demeanor and struggled with his repressed feelings as the tempest of fame engulfed the Beatles. Image and narrative track the group’s rapid rise and evolution and Lennon’s discovery of his soul mate. Blaney writes, “Ono transformed Lennon; she filled him with confidence, inspiration and energy.” This superior photographic record of Lennon and his and Ono’s love, activism, and mutual artistry is strikingly romantic and poignant. --Donna Seaman

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nice photos, but unbalanced content
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a coffee-table style book featuring a pictorial look at John Lennon's life. The preface is written by Yoko Ono Lennon.

    The book starts off with a gorgeous array of photos from John Lennon's childhood and teenage years. The large size of the book offers quality reproductions of Lennon's birth certificate as well as color images of his boyhood writing and drawings from the "Daily Howl". The quality and scale of the early photographs are reminiscent of the hardcover book from 1988 called Imagine: John Lennon, a companion to the John Lennon documentary of the same name.

    The photos of The Beatles years in Hamburg are stunning and printed in high quality and a highlight of the book. The early years of Lennon's career with The Beatles are given a thorough exploration in John Lennon: In His Life.

    However, as the years progress in Lennon's life, the variety of pictures starts to decrease. The focus of the book is on Lennon's Beatles years. Yoko doesn't even enter the book's timeline until page 182 out of 270 pages. That means the later years of Lennon's life are not given the same amount of attention.

    The 1970s are only given 25 pages in the book, and shockingly, 1980 is represented with one page spread. With that last spread, the book ends abruptly with virtually no pictures of the last year of Lennon's life.

    As a result, this book cannot be described as a complete look at John Lennon's life. But if you are more interested in Lennon's early years and his time with The Beatles, than you will enjoy this book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars CONTENTS RECEIVE A 5 STAR RATING, BUT...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The contents of this book are incredible, but having waited over six months to receive this book described as "HARDCOVER" I was quite disappointed to receive what would best be described as a thick "PAPERBACK". And at that it was contained in a flimsy soft sided bag allowing the corners and edges to get creased.

    THIS IS NOT WHAT I WOULD CALL A "HARDCOVER" BOOK, although the contents are worthy of a nice coffee-table hardcover.

    PLEASE NOTE: When I purchased this book, it was listed as HARDCOVER.
