I have long been inspired by the Beatles, both as a musician and a listener. Their meteoric rise to fame paved the way for future boy bands such as New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys. This book not only shines a light on the Fab Four as a whole, but also as individuals. I love the little known facts exposed by the writer and a celebration of their accomplishments. Larry Berg’s style takes us on a trip down Penny Lane, while entertaining and informing us along the way. Think of this book as a guided tour backstage through the trials and tribulations that helped to shape one of the most influential groups of all time. This book is informative without being overwhelming. It gives the reader a deeper look into the dynamics of the group and why each member was an integral part of their success. It also gives us insight into each member’s personal life and their achievements as solo artists.
