The Beatles By Igloo Books
The beatles karaoke
The only reason I give it two stars is because of the subject matter and the photos This book reads like it was written by a junior high school yearbook club Apparently pruf reeding is only a uggestion And who really needs to do fact checking when you re writing about an internationally known subject This book is full of grammatical and punctuation errors It s a shame that such a beautiful subject was treated with such disregard Maybe it s because I m such a Beatles fan and also a Communication major that I couldn t get past that and let it go Paperback It seems easy to give this book really any book about The Beatles a pass Even the worst book about The Beatles is still a book about The Beatles and the subject matter alone if you re a fan anyway can make up for a lot But this book does not deserve a pass It doesn t deserve a pass because at its price point 14. The beatles components 99 and its length 176 mostly picture filled pages IglooBooks The Beatles is clearly aimed at the uninitiated the neophyte the youngster who s heard about the band wants to learn and is hooked by the colorful cover s promise of All you ever wanted to know about the Fab Four The problem is this poorly written poorly edited and poorly structured book equal parts junior high annual teen beat magazine and page six gossip fodder is far from the first place anyone should be learning about John Paul George and Ringo And if like me you re far beyond a casual fan the book is little than one eye rolling head shaking what the fuck Some of my favorite moments a photo of a smiling George captioned George Harrison burns the candle at both ends in 1967 the illuminating one sentence paragraph Culturally The Beatles made waves and the last words the book has to say on its subject a quote from Pulp s Jarvis Cocker that is neither moving nor profound I love The Beatles I haven t named any kids after them but I still really love them They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I d never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio cassette player Wow More definitive words were never spoken At least the pictures were good Paperback Good photos coupled with a succinct chronology of the Beatles history make this book fun to read It could use better editing as it gets repetitive in spots but overall it s a nice review of the band s career especially for older fans remembering the days of Beatlemania Paperback
