I've purchased two other books in this set (Lennon, Harrison) and have just finished reading this one on Paul McCartney. Since I grew up on the Beatles, buying this was a no-brainer for me. Back in those days, when the Beatles first hit America, Paul was always known as "the cute one".  I think he still is.This book, like the others, traces the musician from pre-Beatles, during the Beatles and post-Beatles. Of the four, McCartney has managed to evolve with the times, making his music relevant even today - decades after the Fab Four hit America.I was just listening to The Long and Winding Road - a McCartney tune - and appreciating the incredible depth and poignancy of the song - apparently written during a period when the Beatles were on the verge of break-up. You can read about the tense times in the Breakup Section of this book - a sad time for us music lovers.If you love the Beatles, buy this book. No brainer.
