I finally finished it! It only took me a little over a year... Well... Maybe because I didn't charge (or use) my kindle for almost half a year and that book was on it... Anyway. About the book now. I feel like some parts were too detailed and just dragged on some of the chapters, for example when the era of music is described with every musician possible or the legal process of John's deportation. As if I would remember all the names of the lawyers. I needed a serious kick in the ass (by myself) when the book (or one of the chapters) got to a "boring stage" to keep on reading. It could have moved faster, let's put it that way. Other than that it was really interesting to read what was going on with the Beatles, his relationship with the others (which could have been more detailed in my opinion..see, that's the stuff I'm interested in) and afterwards with Yoko. The book maybe even changed my opinion about her a little bit. Also, to get to know his fears and insecurities was fascinating. To learn that was miserable almost his entire life until he became more mature and happier in the end. Consequently, the fact that he got shot when he was the most content and finally found his way in life breaks my heart a little bit.
