Overview

Paul McCartney's name came second in the famed Lennon-McCartney credits on so many masterful tunes, but he has always had his own unique image and talent. Alan Clayson captures the qualities that made him so popular in this fact-based biography that covers his scrappy early years through the stormy successes of his tenure with the Beatles to more recent projects that have kept him in the limelight.

Just not a very good book. The narrator was abrasive and aggravatingly loud. No new information for those who have seen, heard, or read anything about Paul McCartney.

I found this very hard to follow. The information was not interesting and not presented in a fashion that would hold your interest. And I am a huge McCartney fan. Blackbird was much better.

Not very good. Hard to follow. More about the Beatles as a group than Paul McCartney as an individual. Nothing new in this book.

Too Many Tangients

First of all this guy HAS to have a dictionary on his lap because some of the adjectives are insane. Second, I don't care about the sister of the artist who has a #7 hit in 1963 (Ok, I made that up, but I'm close). The book is about Sir Paul, and between using fun big words, and giving me WAY too much detail about topics not related, I found this book frustrating and wishing he would get to the point. It almost makes him as if he is trying to sound pompous.
